You want to register for the notification "NSWorkspaceDidUnmountNotification".

... I'm assuming that you meant "devices which are being unmounted", rather than "devices which never get mounted in the first place".

diskutil will list unmounted volumes

Run "man diskutil" in Terminal

I don't think there is a public API for this.
