Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess('Success Message');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError('Error Message');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addWarning('Warning Message');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addNotice('Notice Message');

  1. Set Your Message.
Mage::getSingleton("core/session")->addSuccess("Add success message"); 
Mage::getSingleton("core/session")->addError("Please login");
Mage::getSingleton("core/session")->addNotice("Add notification message");
  1. Display Your Message in Footer.
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('global_messages'); ?>

3.Define Block in Layout. (Optional If use custom Extension Or not Defined)

<block type="core/messages" name="global_messages" as="global_messages"/>

Added because this question appears in Google.

For a yellow "warning" message (the one you probably want for this purpose), use

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addNotice('Please log in to track your order');

For a green "success" message, use

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess('Tracking successful');

For a red "error" message, use

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError('There was an error tracking your parcel');

put this code in your controller

$session = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session');
if (!$session->getCustomerId()) {
    Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError('You are not logged in');
}
