Maybe something like this will work, if integrated with your own
hardstatus setup.

address@hidden> cat blinker
blink=`cat $HOME/.blink`
if [ "$blink" = "0" ]
then
echo 1 > $HOME/.blink
echo $1
else
echo 0 > $HOME/.blink
echo $2
fi
address@hidden> grep -e backtick -e '%1`' .screenrc
hardstatus string "%1` hardstatus %1`"
backtick 1 1 1 /home/luteijn/blinker "+" "x"
address@hidden>
