Add a 'Toast Notification' Utility #41098
Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Currently, there is no native and simple way to trigger a user notification from a script or a command line in Windows without relying on complex APIs or third-party solutions. While PowerShell modules like BurntToast exist, they require separate installation and setup.
I propose adding a new PowerToys utility that provides a simple command-line interface (CLI) to send desktop toast notifications. This utility would be a pre-installed, easy-to-use alternative to solutions like notify-send on Linux.
A possible implementation could be a command named powertoys.toast or similar, which could be used like this:
powertoys.toast -title "Notification Title" -text "This is the body of the notification."
Scenario when this would be used?
This utility would be a valuable addition for developers, sysadmins, and power users who want a quick and reliable way to provide feedback from scripts and automation tasks.
The idea came to me when I saw an example call for notify-send at Claude Code, but realised that there is currently no good alternative for Windows.
