I followed your idea, and I did that:

*I Created a container view.

messageView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(27, 0, 235, 19)];
[messageView setClipsToBounds:YES];//With This you prevent the animation to be drawn outside the bounds.

*Then I created a UILabel with the text to be displayed and added to my container view

lblTime = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 235, 19)];
[lblTime setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[messageView addSubview:lblTime];

*Finally I created a function like this:

- (void)sendNotification:(NSString*)txt{
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:3.5];
    [UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionNone forView:messageView cache:YES];
    [lblTime setText:txt];
    [lblTime setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];
    lblTime.frame = CGRectMake(260, 0, 258, 19);
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}
