Wouldn't this add a day, as you're subtracting a negative value:
C#:
var span = TimeSpan.FromDays(-1);
var targetDate = date - span;
Regardless, it would be easier to do this:
C#:
var targetDate = date.AddDays(-1);
So put the date into a DateTime and then subtract a TimeSpan that contains one day. That should give you the date when the notification should be fired. Next you check if the current date is that computed date. If so, then show the notification.
Some pseudo code that assumes that your column already contains DateTime values:
C#:
var date = (DateTime) dateGridView.Row[0].Cells[4].Value;
var span = TimeSpan.FromDays(-1);
var targetDate = date - span;
if (targetDate.Date == DateTime.Now.Date)
    MessageBox.Show("Today is the day.");
