Default [Q] What's the best notification popup app?

I would like to have my SMS popup and light up the screen in the very least (like on the iPhone). Not sure if I want the same for email but maybe a 3-sec balloon would be nice (kind of like growl).

Any suggestions?

if you just want a popup notification for these events, you can use Tasker. Tasker is complicated at first but after you understand how it works, you can create some good stuff. Right now I have a popup "ballon" that notifies me of new moves on words with friends with a popup, sound, led, and vibrate. I did this because WwF's notifcation is still new and basica n doesnt even work well.

SMSpopup is what I use now and it works pretty well for SMS. For calendar, I'm currently testing Calendar Snooze, but at that price, I might as well get Tasker.

Tasker seems awesome but I know I'll have to spend hours to configure it and I'm not sure if I want to do that.

I'm pretty sure you're joking but this is like telling someone who used to own a Brand A car with satellite radio to go back to Brand A because his new Brand B car comes only with a standard radio. The more sensible thing would probably be to explore the option of installing a satellite radio in his awesome new ride.

Or in my case, an app that turns the screen on when I get events notifications.

Chomp SMS does the trick for me, I was using the default app with SMS Popup, but i like the customization you get from Chomp =)
