How to show a notification button in title bar (or a general button if not possible)?

I would like to add a button to the title bar of my C++/Qt application, like the one for Visual Studio notifications (I've seen other programs using it too, like SourceTree).
I have been searching around for a while but many pages redirect to this or this broken links. I've only found this CodeProject tutorial but my whole project is powered by Qt, not MFC.
Is there any standard way to do it using Qt or in C++?

You can do this by removing the title bar and putting buttons yourself there.

@TheQuantumPhysicist, thanks, I've tried that before for other kind of requirements and I've ended up with too much manual overwriting of standard behaviors: window moving/sizing/snapping, global shortcut for minimizing... it is an option but I'd prefer a "less invasive" one ;)

It is not possible with Qt alone. You will have to use native stuff to add it there or use a custom titlebar. There are already projects like this one that handle all the borderless stuff, including snapping etc. You can use those and extend them to add your buttons

Or maybe QML does this?
