The program is minimized to run in the background,in some cases, need feedback to the user, such as can a bubble pops up telling the user.
How to achieve a similar effect?
I can think of now is that,achieve a frameless window analog, is there a better way to achieve this, such as calling the system API like?

The desktop notifications API(Will follow W3C) is in the TODO list. Please check it here: Issue27
However, in my humble opinion, the priority of this issue is low. And I think your workaround is much better than this API from my point of view.

I had a similar need for an application that I am building and ended going with the hand rolled frameless window solution. I have the code and a demo up on github in case anybody is interested:
