for example this will dial phone on tungsten t5 when there is some phone set

bool DialPhone(char *number, char *displayedName)
{
        SysNotifyParamType param;
        HelperNotifyEventType details;
        HelperNotifyExecuteType execute;
        Err err;
        bool ok;

        MemSet(&param,sizeof(SysNotifyParamType),0);
        param.notifyType = sysNotifyHelperEvent;
        param.broadcaster = appFileCreator;
        param.notifyDetailsP = &details;
        param.handled = false;

        MemSet(&details,sizeof(HelperNotifyEventType),0);
        details.version = kHelperNotifyCurrentVersion;
        details.actionCode = kHelperNotifyActionCodeExecute;
        details.data.executeP = &execute;

        MemSet(&execute,sizeof(HelperNotifyExecuteType),0);
        execute.serviceClassID = kHelperServiceClassIDVoiceDial;
        execute.dataP = number;
        execute.displayedName = displayedName;

        err=SysNotifyBroadcast(&param);
        ok=((err==0) && param.handled);

        if(!ok)
                FrmAlert(AE_PHONE_ERROR);
        return ok;
}

i think you should be able to understand it from this, its quite well documented
in palmos reference docs
