Are notification alerts possible with a Firefox toolbar?

I want to develop a toolbar for firefox, but want to know what the limitations are.
Is it possible to implement an alert / notification feature, that popups by itself?
And if it is, where can I find resources to see how to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Anpanman
