Why not have a less-intrusive animation in, say, the top-right corner of the screen?  Maybe something like this:

I think that's fine too.

Came here to suggest this! Glad I searched.

Visual continuity between Z-levels would be very nice. A dithering effect may also work and be cheaper to render or easier to code. An icon indicator as sanchezman suggested may also help. All configurable of course.

Yeah, I think letting players choose between, say, the two full animations, the small indicator, and maybe none at all would be the way to go.
