As usual YMMV

~/bin/runthis:

notify-send -t $((1000+300*`echo -n $info | wc -w`)) -u low -i gtk-dialog-info "$what" "$info" || exit 2
Make it executable with #~/bin/runthis

chmod +r ~/bin/runthis. Final step: go to the CompitzConfig Settings Manager (or the Gnome shortcut settings) and assign it a key combination (I use Ctrl+Alt+r). Now you can hit the combination, enter a command and the result will be shown in a notification dialog. For the rationale, read the original sourceAs usual YMMV
