Add Notifications for Completed Cursor Tasks/Processes When VS Code is Minimized

Hey, good news, part of this already exists in recent versions:

Already available:

  • Sound notifications, Settings > Sound Notifications, since v0.48+
  • Desktop notifications v1.5.x+, including when the agent is waiting for confirmation
  • Orange dot indicator on chat tabs that need attention

These should cover the taskbar flash, notification popup, and sound alert requests from the original post.

Not yet available:

  • Webhook or API integrations Slack, Teams, Discord, etc.
  • Mobile notifications

@ashokpatsamatla, pushing notifications to a Teams channel isn’t available yet, but others have requested it too. There’s no timeline yet, but your feedback helps us prioritize.

If the current desktop or sound notifications aren’t working well when Cursor is minimized, share the details OS and Cursor version so we can investigate.
