I haven't been able to find an explanation, or think of a reason why it's not available in non-OOB apps. So why is the toast notification only available in OOB apps?

Silverlight 4 Out-Of-Browser apps can operate in full trust. This is necessary to open a window separate from the primary window. Toast notifications are separate windows.

    That makes sense, but I guess that begs the question why Microsoft didn't make the notification an in-app dialog, like the message box, when running in browser. Thanks for the answer though. – shannon.stewart Jul 13 '11 at 19:40
