Menu alert or menu item changes color when a value is hit on page

I have a menu linked to 3 mashups. Within a mashup, I have a boolean property that gets triggered when a certain value is hit. I currently have this turn red within the mashup but is there a way to get my menu item to turn red if the user is not currently looking at this mashup? For example, on the image below, can I get the Data3 menu item to flash red or turn red when this boolean property is triggered? And if so, how?
