Looking at the documentation there is an example of asking alexa to play BBC radio on tunin. When I look at my action entity_ids for my dots I see notify.announce_dotnamehere and notify.speak_dotnamehere. I dont see notify_custom_dotnamehere or any other entity_ids besides speak and announce. How do we send commands like in the example or is that not yet supported?

The custom notify entity for commands is not in, yet. It will likely be added in a later release.
It is an error in the docs.
