You can write an extension of UIViewController. Something like this.

extension UIViewController {    
    func showNotificationView() {
        let notiView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.view.frame.size.width, height: 50))
        notiView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleBottomMargin]
        notiView.backgroundColor = .red
        self.view.addSubview(notiView)

        let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
        button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(callbackButton(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
        button.backgroundColor = .green
        notiView.addSubview(button)
    }

    @objc func callbackButton(_ sender:Any) {
        // button callback
    }
}
