Is it possible to send Toast notification from console application?

At first you need to declare that your program will be using winRT libraries:

1. Right-click on your yourProject, select Unload Project
   
2. Right-click on your yourProject(unavailable) and click Edit yourProject.csproj
   
3. Add a new property group:<targetplatformversion>8.0</targetplatformversion>
   
4. Reload project
   
5. Add reference Windows from Windows > Core
   

Now you need to add this code:

using Windows.UI.Notifications;

and you will be able to send notifications using this code:

var toast = new ToastNotification(doc);
ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier().Show(toast);

I ran into some problems here with Evaldas B's Code I was missing a string. (Where It Says Need String Here)

.CreateToastNotifier(<needed a string here>).Show(toast);

warning I am kind of new to C# so my code probably sucks- but it does work and is pretty simplistic and that's more than I can say for most solutions I have found

Also I was having a hell of a time getting the xml document to read. I was fighting with System.xml (I think) and Windows.Data.Dom.Xml (also not completely sure). In the end I settled on making them hard coded strings for my example file and used a switch statement to switch between them. I have found a ton of people, looking for the solution that I have come up with, on stack overflow. It seems use of the toast notification system with console or background applications would be super useful, and the documentation that surrounds the toast notification system with windows applications all suggest that it needs to be used with an application. The Action Center is super useful for notifications vrs the NotificationTray/NotifyIcon route. I have not found a full solution anywhere else on the web. Here is example code.
