Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
I've been planning this c# application for a long time and has been learning on way to implement it's features. At the heart of it is the application's ability to check activity of another application that is running in the background.
The app I need to check activity of gives you windows notification at certain instances and I was thinking whether I could take advantage of this. My app will close the running app if there is a new notification.
Is there a way to implement something like this with C#?
Thanks in advance.

Answer is: Probably... depends on that other mysterious application. But also probably would require some decent knowledge in how that other application works in detail (with respect to creating and presenting those notifications) and decent knowledge of how to utilize Win32 APIs to monitor stuff that's going on on the desktop. So, augmented answer is: Probably possible, but very likely also rather quite hard for the unexperienced...
