Here's how to configure your Xbox One to display popup notification each time one of your friends comes online (sign-in to Xbox Live on their console).
How to enable Xbox Live friends notifications?
In Windows 10
- Open the Xbox app and navigate to Settings (cog icon) > General settings > Notifications.
- Tick the Favorite online - Notify me when my favorite friends are online checkbox:

On Xbox console
Press the menu key of the controller.
Go to Settings > Preferences and then select the Sign-in & broadcasts menu.
You have a choice between three different settings:
- No one - to disable sign-in & broadcasts notifications.
- All friends - display notifications when any of your friends come online, which can be quite annoying when you have a lot of friends.
- Favourites only - enable this setting for your favourite friends only (Go to your Friends page, select a friend, press the Menu button and then select the Add to favourites).
