libnotify is a library that makes use of GTK+

At least, you need to include the libnotify library when you link your program.

LIBS += -lnotify

And you need to make sure the include files can be found.

But, I guess you need to link to GTK+ too, but I don't know the correct names, probably something like -lgtk+ maybe with a version number.

Then you need to write the notification, here's an example:
