Blink when message received

It might be nice to blink the APRSIS32 taskbar icon when the program is minimized and a message is received. I think the API call is FlashWindowEx function. (I was unable to post the link due to low-karma.)

APRSIS32 already posts a Windows Notification which is designed for that purpose. I'm kind of hesitant to make the task bar flash because many of us get LOTS of messages and only answer them when we're able.

PS. I'm aware of the FlashWindow function. If you select text in a scrolling log and more messages want to go there, the window will start flashing as the new text is buffered so as not to disrupt your selection. If you minimize a scrolling log and new text arrives, it will also flash on the task bar.

I would like something in this area. The notification pop-ups are nice, but I would like something in addition such as flashing in the task bar. On a side note, a customizable notification sound instead of just using the windows basic sounds would be very much appreciated.
