Example code

2 Import ToastNotifications.Messages theme in App.xaml

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/ToastNotifications.Messages;component/Themes/Default.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

3 Create Notifier instance

using ToastNotifications;
using ToastNotifications.Lifetime;
using ToastNotifications.Position;
/* * */
Notifier notifier = new Notifier(cfg =>
{
    cfg.PositionProvider = new WindowPositionProvider(
        parentWindow: Application.Current.MainWindow,
        corner: Corner.TopRight,
        offsetX: 10,  
        offsetY: 10);

    cfg.LifetimeSupervisor = new TimeAndCountBasedLifetimeSupervisor(
        notificationLifetime: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3),
        maximumNotificationCount: MaximumNotificationCount.FromCount(5));

    cfg.Dispatcher = Application.Current.Dispatcher;
});

using ToastNotifications.Messages;
/* * */
notifier.ShowInformation(message);
notifier.ShowSuccess(message);
