Answer 1

Step: 2

Now load the grunt-notify library by adding below entry in the Gruntfile.js

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-notify');

Additional Configurations

If you wan to customize the message popup styles and notification timings.

Note: But after adding this overrides only I got notifications in Windows 10.

// example configuration for notification hooks
 grunt.initConfig({
    notify_hooks:{
        options:{
            enable:true,
            title: 'Task Completed', 
            max_jshint_notifications:5,
        },
        uncss:{
            options:{                        
                title: 'Task Completeddd', 
                message:"Error occured",
            },
        },
    },             
});

Settings WRT to OS notifications:

Nothing to install for LINUX and Windows 8.x or Higher. If you are using Mac please read the documentation in github
