Documentation

Flash the system taskbar icon and/or frame to alert the user.

URGENCY can be one of the symbols informational, or critical. If URGENCY is nil, clear the attention indicator.

The attention indicator is cleared by the earliest of bringing the Emacs GUI into focus, or after TIMEOUT seconds. If TIMEOUT is nil, the system GUI behavior has priority.

On some back ends, critical has the same effect as informational.
