Take a look at CFUserNotification.h. Unless you've got a pretty fancy dialog
requiring a fair bit of user interaction/input, I don't see why you'd
actually need to bring your app to the front to get the user's response.
There are a number of ways (non-activating panels, CFUserNotifications...)
for a bg app to display a window (modal or otherwise) as the front window
without actually activating the app itself.

Hope that helps,
