You can use QBalloonTip which is an internal class defined in :

  • Qt 5:

    QtDir/Src/qtbase/src/widgets/util/qsystemtrayicon_p.h

  • Qt 4:

    QtDir/src/gui/utils/util/qsystemtrayicon_p.h

QBalloonTip inherits QWidget and it is implemented in qsystemtrayicon.cpp at the same directory. It has the following method to show a balloon tip:

void QBalloonTip::balloon(const QPoint& pos, int msecs, bool showArrow)

You can modify the source code of this class to have your desired balloon tip.
