Workstation Pro: Guest Activity Alerts??

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope this is a simple question for anyone already running VMware Workstation Pro...

Does Workstaiton provide any sort of indicator, in a collapsed view, to alert you to some kind of activity on a given guest?  For example, let's say that I am running 4 VMs on a machine, and I am currently working on the HOST desktop for some reason.  Then, I receive an e-mail or an instant message on one of the VMs.  Would there be any kind of an audio and/or visual indicator to show me that the message came in on guest "x"?

I am evaluating moving from a multi-machine desk/work space to a virtual machine environment.  I am just trying to determine if I would be able to be notified of that kind of activity, or if I will have to 1) hop through each VM until I find the activity, or 2) have to set up custom audio notifications for each event and "machine" for each VM.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
