wsl-notify-send
wsl-notify-send
provides a Windows executable that is intended to be a replacement for the Linux notify-send
utility.

is implemented using go-toast/toast and if you have control over the script calling notify-send

CLI gives you more control over the notifications. Also checkout the stuartleeks/toast fork which includes a change to hide the console window when the app runs.
