Yes, Certainty Herbicide can safely be used on Bermuda grass.
The best time to apply Certainty for poa annua or for any of the other listed weeds on the label would be when they are actively growing. You should mix Certainty with a surfactant to increase its effectiveness.
It would be best to call your local county extension office for when to apply any type of herbicides or insecticides in your area. They will know exactly when you should apply it in your specific county.
You can find your local county extension office information here: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/index.html
The Certainty Herbicide label states the best results are obtained when target weeds are actively growing and not disturbed by mowing for at least 2 days before and 2 days after an application.
Certainty Herbicide is a great option for annual bluegrass (or poa annua), in a zoysia lawn. The mixing rate is 3-5 small scoops or 1-2 large scoops per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. It is strongly recommended to also use a surfactant with this product to increase the effectiveness.
Certainty Herbicide can be used to control Johnsongrass in a Bermuda lawn.

Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. is labeled to be applied over Dwarf Azalea. It will also treat for the Virginia Buttonweed and ivy you are wanting to kill.

Our most popular general weed control product that is selective, meaning it will not harm your turf grass but it will kill your weeds, is End Run.
End Run is labeled for just about any weed you could have including clover, dandelions, and chickweed and will not harm your grass. Best of all, it comes with a surfactant already mixed in the product so you do not have to purchase and mix a surfactant separately like you do with most of the other herbicides that we sell.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. bottle will suppress Dallis grass. Per the product label:
For suppression of Dallis grass in Bermuda apply this product at a rate of 1.25 oz per acre in a tank mix with 2lbs MSMA per acre and .25 oz Non Ionic Surfactant. Re apply same tank mix 2-4 weeks after initial application.
Barricade 65WG would be an excellent pre-emergent product choice to treat dallisgrass(Paspalum).
You may notice signs of the poa dying (discoloration-yellowing or browning) within 2-3 weeks after you have applied Certainty but it is normal not to see anything for at least a month. Per the product label, you can make an additional application 4 or more weeks after the initial application as needed. Best results are obtained when target weeds are actively growing & not disturbed by mowing for at least 2 days before and 2 days after application. Warm, moist conditions following application will accelerate activity; cold, dry conditions will delay activity. Drought stressed weeds are less susceptible.
Certainty Herbicide should be applied when the burweed is actively growing and healthy. Usually weeds are best controlled when they have just emerged. Please contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the more exact timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region.
Certainty Herbicide is labeled to suppress dallisgrass in bermudagrass as directed on the product label. To prevent it coming back you would use a pre-emergent herbicide such as the Dimension 2EW.
Certainty Herbicide does list on the label that it is safe around many woody ornamentals so it should not harm a healthy tree.
Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. is applied at 3 - 5 small scoops or 1 - 2 large scoops per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft of listed warm season turf. It is also can be applied around woody ornamental plantings and perennial groundcovers. It may harm flowers if they are sprayed or drift contacts them.
Certainty Herbicide is labeled to kill lawn burweed which is often called sandbur, but is not labeled for bindweed.
Certainty Herbicide like most other herbicides should not be applied in hose end applicatiors. This type of sprayer sometimes is not very accurate, so you can wind up dispensing more/less product than needed in a given area, which can lead to less than desirable results.
3 - 5 small scoops or 1 - 2 large scoops per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft.
