I would still use the code-behind for animation as it is a pure UI task.

I want to animate my message based on my previous action such as ...Saving a record or deleting a record .....how should i do that?

If your VM has a reference to your view, then you can do this in VM:
(this.View.Resources["SB"] as StoryBoard).Begin().
If you do not have a reference to a view, then you would have to rely on something like an EventAggregator and raise an event that your view would react to. You could also use behaviors in SL 3. I have not completely thought this through, but you can trigger animation off an event of VM.
