Really the easiest and best way to achieve this is to create a new customized UserControl. Just add a button and insert a label over it on the right. Then add getters and setters for the controls inside you new UserControl. Here's an example of get/set to configure the button's notification:

public String ButtonNotification {
   get { return yourUserControlLabel.Text; }
   set {
         if (value == null || value == "") { yourUserControlLabel.Visibility = Hidden; }
         else { yourUserControlLabel.Visibility = Visible; }

         yourUserControlLabel.Text = value;
   }
}

Then you can customize the label's visibility and other properties with the getters/setters.
