I assume you are referring to the progress display that folds into the desktop's notification area? Those are actually not handled by applications themselves, e.g. Dolphin doesn't do anything for that, but are used by KDE's I/O infrastructure automatically. If you need that for file operations or download/upload, have a look at kioclient. If you need that for something you process then I am afraid you are currently out of luck :( Shouldn't be too difficult to add such a thing to kdialog, but currently it seems it can't access those progress notifications. Might be worthwhile to add a feature request for that on bugs.kde.org If you have the option of implementing your solution in a scripting language with D-Bus support, then it should be possible to access that part of the desktop directly. The D-Bus name for the service is org.kde.JobViewServer, but I am not entirely sure how it is being used (I only had a cursory glance at the code in kdelibs that uses it).
