Despite the name, this is not a daemon running in the background at all the times but rather some sort of plugin (or something like that) called by dbus. 'notify-send' (available in the "libnotify-bin" package) should basically do the same. I just did a quick test, but that does not seem to work either.

Close and report upstream or > retitle here? Same answer as in #585975: I prefer to keep the bug open and keep track of it in the Debian BTS ;-) Also, given the above, this might also be a bug in libnotify, in which case this bug should be cloned and reassigned to libnotify. Do you have time to have a closer look at that?
