Steam Notifier : Receive tray notifications whenever Steam has started downloading an update for one of your installed games, with the help of this lightweight application
Steam allows you to schedule updates and even limit the amount of bandwidth it is allowed to use, but the popular game client does not notify you that an update has started while running in the background.Steam Notifier is a small, open-source application that attempts to rectify this problem. It runs in the system tray and displays a simple notification to inform you when one of your games or programs are being updated.
No installation – just run the program and get Steam notifications
Getting everything set up is remarkably simple, as you only need to unpack the archive and run the SteamNotifier.exe file. The application will be minimized to the system tray automatically, and you can configure it by just clicking the tray icon.To make things even easier for you, the program can be added to the startup list from the configuration window, which is also used to stop the service.

Knowing when a download has started can be very important, whether you want to know when one of your games has been updated or you need to keep an eye on your bandwidth usage.The application works very simply: when Steam starts downloading something, a notification is displayed in the tray area, which also includes the name of the game or program. However, notifications are also displayed for new installations.
