So, to be sure I understand what you are trying to do, you want to send from a microcontroller, to your phone over the local network? Or are you trying to send from your microcontroller to Growl running on a computer?
The second case is definitely something we can help with. Growl uses GNTP, a protocol for sending notifications over a network that is easy to implement. You mentioned arduino, and I do know of an arduino library, https://github.com/tzikis/gntp-arduino, although it isn't terribly active in development, and I can't speak to how well it works. GNTP is relatively easy to deal with for sending basic messages, and depending on your needs, you could hardcode your messages (You will need to register before notifying as a heads up). The GNTP spec can be found here: http://growl.info/documentation/developer/gntp.php For the first case, if you are running a computer in the middle, and its internet connection is more reliable, then Growl has a number of plugins you could use for sending messages to your phone (Prowl, Boxcar, SMS and email). For more direct local connection (either direct, or using growl on a computer as an intermediary), Im not entirely sure what you would need to do. I seem to recall an iOS to Growl bridge, and there might have been one for the other way, but they were for jailbroken devices to tie into iOS's notification center directly.
