is this possible and how would i go about acheiving this?

For each user to have a notification you would need to build a COM
addin that traps the ItemAdd event on the Items collection of that
public folder. This would only work of course when Outlook was
running. If you wanted notifications on items that came into the
folder when Outlook wasn't running your startup code would have to
check the folder for items it hadn't already created a notification
for.

See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/zaphtml.htm#cw for an Outlook
VBA example of handling ItemAdd for the Items collection of the Inbox.
It shows how to handle that event.
