Presumably your action poller is executing a method on the controller?

 

If that is the case, you can set a property in the controller, something like displayPopup, to true if the popup should be displayed.

 

Then in your page you'd have an output panel that is rendered if displayPopup is true, which runs some javascript to create the popup.

 

We've done something similar to refresh a record detail page from an embedded visualforce page.

You can set a variable in controller if record is added & by using oncomplete attribute in actionpoller you can show the popup update to user

You can use actionpoller with actionstatus with attribute onstart and onstop so that invoke javascript function for popup window.

 

<apex:actionPoller interval="5" rerender="status" status="sref"/>
<apex:actionStatus id="sref" onstart="start()" onstop="stop() " />
</apex:outputPanel>
<script>
    function start()
    {
        
          var url='/apex/ma4';   
          window.open(url,"Homepage","resizable=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=200,target=_blank");
    }
</script>

 

Hope this helps.
