What is the "urgent signal"? Newsbeuter has a number of ways to notify a user
of new articles, such as the configuration options notify-beep (newsbeuter will
beep on new articles), notify-xterm (newsbeuter will set the xterm title with a
notification message), notify-screen (newsbeuter will send a "privacy message"
to the terminal; GNU screen for example implements this), or notify-program
(newsbeuter will call a configurable program on new articles). I think if none
of the former configuration options fulfills your needs, you could implement it
using the notify-program option and a custom script that triggers such an
"urgen signal". The documentation contains more about this:

I found out that a more precise word is urgent hint.
I'm using urxvt, and notify-screen of xterm doesn't work.
However, notify-beep is working, thanks to urxvt'.Xdefaults :
URxvt.urgentOnBell: true
The same function without the sound would be perfect.

Could you try whether you can compile the test program found at
http://testbed.newsbeuter.org/urgent.c (gcc command line is found inside there
in the comment at the top). When you start it, it should set the urgency hint
for the terminal for 1 second and then unset it again. Does this do anything
for you?

It set the urgency hint.
However, to unset it, I have to select the program. It is not removed
automatically.
