public partial class NotificationWindow : Window
{
    DispatcherTimer timer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
    public NotificationWindow()
        : base()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();

        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.ApplicationIdle, new Action(() =>
        {
            var workingArea = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;
            var transform = PresentationSource.FromVisual(this).CompositionTarget.TransformFromDevice;
            var corner = transform.Transform(new Point(workingArea.Right, workingArea.Bottom));

            this.Left = corner.X - this.ActualWidth;
            this.Top = corner.Y - this.ActualHeight;
        }));
        timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(4d);
        timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
    }
    public new void Show()
    {
        base.Show();
        timer.Start();
    }

    void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //set default result if necessary

        timer.Stop();
        this.Close();
    }

}

The above code is refined version @Ray Burns approach. Added with time interval code. So that Notification window would close after 4 seconds..

Call the Window as,

NotificationWindow nfw = new NotificationWindow();
nfw.Show();
