I call this blingle. I call it after any long running operation that I want to be notified of. It pops a desktop notification and sends a push message to my phone.

eg: make deploy; blingle

#!/bin/bash

MSG=${@:-"Job complete"}

notify-send "$MSG"

curl -s \

  --form-string "token=TOKEN" \

  --form-string "user=UID" \

  --form-string "message=$MSG" \
