OS notifications for long deployments

Normally, when we push or deploy code from the IDE, we get an IDE-level notification to show if it has succeeded or failed. When we run tests, we get an OS-level notification that is visible even when you are not looking at IntellJ.

There are times when pushing/deploying code can take tens of seconds or even minutes. In those circumstances, it would be really good to have an OS notification on completion. This would make it easier to switch back to coding and still make use of the waiting time.

How would this work? I guess we could have an option to fire OS or IDE notifications. Or perhaps a time threshold e.g. if the deployment takes more than 5s, then fire an OS notification instead of an IDE one.
