How to create a system tray popup message with python? (Windows)

With the help of the pywin32 library you can use the following example code I found here:

from win32api import *from win32gui import *import win32conimport sys, osimport structimport timeclass WindowsBalloonTip:    def __init__(self, title, msg):        message_map = {                win32con.WM_DESTROY: self.OnDestroy,        }        # Register the Window class.        wc = WNDCLASS()        hinst = wc.hInstance = GetModuleHandle(None)        wc.lpszClassName = "PythonTaskbar"        wc.lpfnWndProc = message_map # could also specify a wndproc.        classAtom = RegisterClass(wc)        # Create the Window.        style = win32con.WS_OVERLAPPED | win32con.WS_SYSMENU        self.hwnd = CreateWindow( classAtom, "Taskbar", style, \                0, 0, win32con.CW_USEDEFAULT, win32con.CW_USEDEFAULT, \                0, 0, hinst, None)        UpdateWindow(self.hwnd)        iconPathName = os.path.abspath(os.path.join( sys.path[0], "balloontip.ico" ))        icon_flags = win32con.LR_LOADFROMFILE | win32con.LR_DEFAULTSIZE        try:           hicon = LoadImage(hinst, iconPathName, \                    win32con.IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, icon_flags)        except:          hicon = LoadIcon(0, win32con.IDI_APPLICATION)        flags = NIF_ICON | NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_TIP        nid = (self.hwnd, 0, flags, win32con.WM_USER+20, hicon, "tooltip")        Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, nid)        Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_MODIFY, \                         (self.hwnd, 0, NIF_INFO, win32con.WM_USER+20,\                          hicon, "Balloon  tooltip",msg,200,title))        # self.show_balloon(title, msg)        time.sleep(10)        DestroyWindow(self.hwnd)    def OnDestroy(self, hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam):        nid = (self.hwnd, 0)        Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_DELETE, nid)        PostQuitMessage(0) # Terminate the app.def balloon_tip(title, msg):    w=WindowsBalloonTip(title, msg)if __name__ == '__main__':    balloon_tip("Title for popup", "This is the popup's message")

I recently used the Plyer package to create cross-platform notifications without pain, using the Notification facade (it have many other interesting things that are worth to take a look at).

Pretty easy to use:

from plyer.utils import platformfrom plyer import notificationnotification.notify(    title='Here is the title',    message='Here is the message',    app_name='Here is the application name',    app_icon='path/to/the/icon.' + ('ico' if platform == 'win' else 'png'))

Here is the simple way to show notifications on windows 10 using python: module win10toast.

Requirements:

• pypiwin32
• setuptools

Installation:

>> pip install win10toast

Example:

from win10toast import ToastNotifiertoaster = ToastNotifier()toaster.show_toast("Demo notification",                   "Hello world",                   duration=10)
