Can you describe what you meant with notification as service, is it a Windows only thing? How will that work on macOS and Linux, and is it related to https://github.com/gen2brain/beeep/issues/10 .

its windows thing. a service dont have access to a active window user session. its possible but it needs some windows-dll magic :( the toast notification apears if you start the program as a user. but not, in a service context.

@ericrange Windows services normally don't use notifications, but rather write to the event log.
