There are a lot of good libraries that help you to do this

XMPP - BOSH is a good combination which I use on my websites

XMPP servers

Ejabberd, Openfire I use ejabberd

You can use Strophe along with Ejabberd to capture notifications in javascript. If you want to send notifications from code

There are libraries like JAXL and XMPPHP that let you do this, but this is in PHP.
