How to show the NSUserNotification in command-line-tool program?

Question

I want to write a command-line-tool program that only shows the NSUserNotification. I've found out, that in order to show the NSUserNotification I need to create a Cocoa App and is not what I want.

I want to run my program at log-in in background, so that my notification is always visible. How can I do that without creating a Cocoa App?

These are the options I found...

Trick Mac OS X into allowing a notification from a command-line tool.
Trigger the notification using Applescript or a helper application.
Create an Automator workflow & execute it using the automator command.

Automator provides a better experience than Applescript. Didn't try the helper.
