for example when you get a new badge on stack overflow, you get the notifaction message on the top, telling you have a new badge, it deos that on the backgroung!! is thier a toturial or article that can help me with this kind eventing updates!!
A:
You should look into notifications such as jGrowl. The site has some samples to help you get going :)
EDIT
How will you be storing notifications? Within a DB? I will get back to you later - My lunch break is over for now :(
EDIT 2
Here is a basic example of how to get it working with php by declaring an array of messages which you could easily populate from a database. You could make this more advanced by using the other options offered by jGrowl such as stickies etc by using a multidimentional array to store such options and outputting the correct javascript.
<?php
$messages = array("This is a message", "And this is another", "etc...");
?>

$(document).ready(function() {
<?php foreach ($messages as $message) { ?>
$.jGrowl("<?php echo $message; ?>", { life: 3000 });
<?php } ?>
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
