I have completed the first phase of developing an application similar to the TFS Build Notification Screen that is meant to be installed on a developer's machine to monitor the status of build definitions.  The TFS Build Notification Tray sits on the taskbar and displays updates for the configured project's build statuses.  A notification will be displayed for each state of the build.  It is configured the same way that the TFS Build Notification Screen is configured, please refer to this post for more information.

When the application is running, you will see the build notification icon appear on your system tray.  When a configured build is updated, a window will slide up like the one below showing you the current state of that build.

As builds are updated, you will be provided with a history of the build notifications you received.

If you right click the build icon, you will see a menu like the one below. 

Clicking on view notifications will show you the notification window.  Clicking on view current build status will display a real time update of the builds as shown below.

If you are having issues running this, fell free to contact me I will try to help you out and make any fixes needed.
