Getting notified of newly created files on mac os?

Is there a way I can write a mac os app that gets notified when there's a new file of a certain file type (lets say a .jpg file) created somewhere on the system?
Does finder maybe have some mechanics in place that gets notified about new files that I can pull from?
The thing I want to achieve is an app that whenever the user creates a file of a certain file type asks the user if she wants to upload it or share it etc.
Also interested if, and if so, how it's possible to achieve this in Windows.
