NotificationService is a constructor.
And msg is shown 'Cannot start service from command line or debugger. A Windows service mest first be install(using installutil.exe) and then start with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command'

You need to do exactly what the message tells you. You are trying to run interactively the application designed to run hosted by the system service host only. You really need to install it and run using Services applet; use "Services.msc".

If you want to install with InstallUtil.exe: it works in conjunction with classes in the System.Configuration.Install namespace which you will need to implement.
See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.install.aspx[^].

You will need to provide implementation of ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.serviceinstaller.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.serviceprocessinstaller.aspx[^].

These are just links to the API you will need to get into it. You will need to learn these techniques thoroughly as they are not very simple and somewhat counter-intuitive. MSDN is your friend.
