But as I said most applications will require you to be online and stay online, ie, IM+, Agile messenger, and the UK aim
As for the notifications, it depends on what program you are using.I use IM+ and if i remember correctly there is no notification when the program is in the background, but you will be notified of an IM when the window is active
