A similar thing happened to me a while back... My battery light would spontaneously flicker on and off sometimes during normal driving. It did NOT do it only when turning, or hitting bumps like you explained. It turned out that the brushes on my alternator were going bad, so I replaced the alternator with a life-time warranty autozone remanufactured unit.
It really sounds like your issue has to do with your wiring harness. Perhaps the negative or positive battery terminal is loose, if not that then some of the grounds might be corroded or loose. If everything checks out okay with the wiring harness, then I'd go ahead and replace the alternator.
