Yes.

Ok on your project you have your main form say FMain, create another
form call it FNewMsg.

On FMain add a button or whatever way you want to call the FNewMsg form.

' Gambas class file

PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()

END

PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click()
  FNewMsg.Show
END

Now on FNewMsg we just have the Message you wanted "you got new
messages..." either as textlabel, msg or picture whatever and add a
timer like the below

FNewMsg
' Gambas class file

PRIVATE CloseTimer AS NEW Timer AS "CloseTimer"

PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()
  ME.Center
  CloseTimer.Delay = 4 * 1000
  CloseTimer.Enabled = TRUE

END

PUBLIC SUB CloseTimer_Timer()
  ME.Close()
END
