Description

I wrote a Windows version of a command-line desktop notification program (https://github.com/RadicalZephyr/DesktopNotifier), so the notify task could try to check for the presence of this program the way it does for the Mac and Linux programs.

This isn't a PR yet because I need to figure out what it looks like to check for the existence of that program on Windows (any Windows developers feel free to chime in).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check for the presence of the DesktopNotifier program on Windows by looking for the executable in the system PATH or using a platform specific method. The existing code for Mac and Linux uses `which` or similar commands. On Windows, you can use `where` command or check the registry. See how other tasks in the project handle platform detection.
