How can I show ms outlook's notification like popup in java swing? is it possible? any other alternative for this?

Answer 1

Simply use an undecorated JFrame ( frame.setUndecorated(true) ) and calculate the location and size by using Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().

Answer 2

You will need to take a look at the System Tray API. The displayIcon method should do what you need:

Displays a popup message near the tray icon. The message will disappear after a time or if the user clicks on it. Clicking on the message may trigger an ActionEvent.
