You already asked this on Thursday.  And the answer is probably =E2=80=9Cno=
=E2=80=9D.  Creating

Under X11-based systems, you would have to call the dbus notification
APIs and pray that the user has something to handle it running (KDE,
GNOME Shell, XFCE4=E2=80=99s notification daemon).  Under Mac OS X 10.7 and
further, you need to work with some system APIs, and that may not be
easy, but possible (eg. https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier for
Ruby).

But Windows?  GOOD LUCK!  The following options exist, none of which
is easy to implement, and one of which is not usable with most
clients:

a) Toast Notifications in Windows 8/Server 2012, which is not a
   popular platform and may require quite a lot of magic in terms of
   coding and else (VS2012);
b) Create a tray icon and do a balloon (2000 and up?, definitely in XP);
c) Create your very own Windows toast notifications framework.
