To show desktop notification, you need a notification service running. gnome-shell and KDE have one built-in and there is a standalone daemon called notification-daemon (which is used in GNOME 2 / GNOME 3 classic). Do you have a notification-daemon process running? If you start one manually via /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon do you get any error messages?
