The major problem using this method is that your computer needs to be on all the time to forward the push notifications.

There are other problems such as you dont always get all the notifications of new email all the time so its a bit flaky still but it does do the job.

You can read full instructions Here and get Growl For Windows Here, Gmail Growl Here and Prowl from the iTunes app store.
