Hi All

sorry it works... my focus was on my application when I test it... Its works when my focus is not on application

[NSApp requestUserAttention:NSCriticalRequest];

Is any way to bounce the icon even focus on application...

Thanks

An icon bounces in order to draw a user's attention to an app that isn't focused. For example, the app could be hidden (no windows at all).

If your app is focused, then what is a bouncing icon supposed to mean?

When your app is focused, you draw user attention to things that need immediate action by using dialogs and alerts. Conversely, if your app doesn't need immediate action by the user, then why do you need to draw their attention to it?

Don't be an attention hog.
