I found a message is not sufficient because I get another message from
running the code block that looks like:
Wrote
/var/folders/5q/lllv2yf95hg_n6h6kjttbmdw0000gn/T/babel-27354lYd/ob-input-27354uxF
and it obscures the first message so you cannot tell what is happening.
Here is a another approach that simply puts an overlay to change the
color of the text in the code block while running.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defadvice org-babel-execute-src-block (around progress nil activate)
"create a buffer indicating what is running"
(let ((ol (make-overlay (org-element-property :begin (org-element-at-point))
(org-element-property :end (org-element-at-point)))))
(overlay-put ol 'face '(foreground-color . "blue"))
ad-do-it
(delete-overlay ol)))
#+END_SRC
