How to set a notification on UI in React JS upon receiving a notification on websocket?

I have a React Web app where I listen to events on the Web socket and update my components upon getting a message on the web socket. I want to show a visual notification when I receive a new event. I came across this library (http://ift.tt/2xe3WWJ) and in the documentation the notification is triggered upon clicking a button. However I want to trigger a notification immediately upon receiving a new event on web socket.

My implementation as of now is as follows. This is under the render() method:

    createNotification = (type) => {
  return () => {
  switch (type) {
    case 'info':
      NotificationManager.info('New Log Arrived', 5000);
      break;
    case 'warning':
      NotificationManager.warning('Warning message', 3000);
      break;
};

I set the below under my websocket method:

    {this.createNotification('info')}

However I get an error. How should this be implemented so that its triggered automatically once I get a message on the web socket?
