Depends. If you would kindly explain what your goal is, someone might
be able to help you better.

I guess that depends on what you want. window.focus() perhaps?

....the primary usability of getAttention is in chrome applications.

try: window.alert (or just alert for short), which will cause the task
bar to blink - from a usability standpoint, they're both pretty much
the most obnoxious tools at a web developer's disposal, but they get
the job done if that's what you want.
