Sending toast notifications from desktop apps

Generally, sending a toast notification from a desktop app is the same as sending it from a Windows Store app. However, you should be aware of these differences and requirements:

• For a desktop app to display a toast, the app must have a shortcut on the Start screen.
• The shortcut must have an AppUserModelID.
• Desktop apps cannot schedule a toast.
