You still haven't asked a question!

This is comp.unix.shell, what does this have to do with the Unix command
line shell?

Dear Sir,

I am doing the project like google calendar . User will create the
event with time . the given time will be watching background process.
Once the time gets matched , that will show as alert box. In this
situation
alert is coming at specified time. But I am not in the firefox
application. think that I am there in some other application . So my
requirement is that I need to switch to firefox when it gets alert, if
i am not in the firefox.
By that user will be able see event alert.

Thanks

[…]

That answers the first part, but an important part of the behaviour
comes with this unanswered question:

In other words: What is the expected behaviour when the user continues
typing because they haven't yet noticed that the alert has appeared?

I think some window managers implement a notification mechanism that
displays something in one of the task bars when an application needs to
get the user's attention. I don't know the details of how this works,
and Firefox would have to have support for it.
