It would be a good feature if this could have blinking alerts on the application icon.

Not sure what you mean, app icon in the notification or something else? Is that part of some spec?

I mean, the application icon in the taskbar (windows) could it blinks or change color.

I see, will need to check. If possible on all platforms (and without CGO) it does seem like a nice addition.

On X11, WM urgency hint can be set https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#URGENCY, it should be possible with https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgb or xgbutil.

On Windows, there is FlashWindow function, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-flashwindow, also, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2620409/getting-hwnd-of-current-process.

On Web, javascript can just toggle document title on/off. Not sure what can be done on macOS.
