Has anyone heard of a library to achieve such an effect in flex apps ?

Otherwise it just be a simple panel with some skinning, fading effect and a timer.

A: 

I haven't tried it myself, but there is an as3 library that might do what you want called the as3notificationlib. It should give you system tray "pop-ups" on Windows and growl like notifications on Mac OS X, don't know what it does on Linux.

If you want real Growl notifications on a Mac in AS3, check out as3growl.

I wrote a Flex 4 notification framework for web apps. You can check it out here http://www.blog.tylerchesley.org/2009/08/08/bark-growl-like-notifications-for-flex/
