You can't do it. A web page doesn't have the level of desktop access. you can try showing notification on page it's self.

You can't...
The client side of your ASP.NET application is a web page sandboxed inside the browser...You can not access the resources of the OS (security reasons), so you can not use any Windows API to access the taskbar...
Any notification you have you have to display inside your web page...
(You may see that GMail do display notifications on the taskbar, but there is there a separate application to install - you can do it too, but as with GMail, it will not be part of your web page)

You should check this API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification...
Notice two things:
1. It have to have user permission granted to work
2. Not supported on every browser (and ca nbe differences in implementation between browsers)
