  for popup use NotifyIcon added to form via designer. (Just try to add it and check for right usage of its limbs). Don't forget to set icon of NotifyIcon. Also check events of NI - it is possible also to show window or message detail for BaloonClick

  for flashing window in taskbar use

  Declare Function FlashWindow% Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As System.IntPtr, ByVal revert As Boolean)

  Shared Function SearchProcessByCaption(ByVal caption$) As System.Diagnostics.Process
   Dim pss() As Process = Process.GetProcesses
   Dim i%
   For Each ps As System.Diagnostic.Process In pss
    If ps.MainWindowTitle = caption Then Return ps
   Next
   Return Nothing
  End Function

  Shared Function Flash%(ByVal caption$, ByVal revert As Boolean)
   Dim ps As System.Diagnostics.Process = SearchProcessByCaption(caption)
   If ps Is Nothing Then
    Return -1
   Else
    Return lApi.user32.FlashWindow(ps.MainWindowHandle, revert)
   End If
  End Function

  And if you mean just that non-buble smooth moving alerts I guess it is just normal "animated" window, but I guess bubble should suffice with minimum of care on both sides :)
