What are you trying to achieve? A bouncing icon in the Dock has very  
specific and well understood meaning to users.

[NSApp requestUserAttention:] will bounce the app icon only if the  
application is not active. I don't think there's a way to bounce the  
icon if your application is the frontmost app. This is by design as  
the bouncing icon is designed to notify you that a background  
application needs your attention.
