I would like to know if it is possible to integrate toast notifications like in Gmail. i want the users to a get a pop up notifications of a new incoming message.

I think you mean desktop notifications. This is best implemented as a modification since it is not a browser standard. As far as I know only chrome users would get these notifications. Also since I don't know how to detect if a window is minimized, or if it's possible, I'm not sure what would determine when to notify users. I wouldn't want popups appearing constantly.

All the users who use that chat do so in chrome. Also I am not worried about the window being minimized since they maybe in another tab also. As long as they have the option to turn them off. I found this http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/notifications.html But I do not know how to implement it. If you could give me some ideas I may try and give it a shot.
