How to make my application sparkle?

[Cylix]

I am writing a small program to monitor a folder.
Normally, the user will minimize the application on the task bar.

When a new file on the folder, I would like to make the application in
task bar to sparkle.
Just like we minimized a msn conversation window and got a new
message.
Thanks a lot.
