Bug Description
Some apps occasionally need to inform the user that something changed in a not focused tab. For example in a browser if a certain not focused tab has an email page and you get an email, the tab should flash so that the user knows something new happened. Other applications would be for example in the terminal when a tab has new output the user should be warned again.

I'm not sure where this overlaps UX-wise for notifications. But my first instinct is to say that the features your suggesting are better provided by system notifications. I.e. if the email page supports HTML5 notifications and the web browser supports platform notifications, it should be able to pass those on to the system. Similarly, we already have process-completion notifications in the Terminal.
