Thanks for your bug report, unfortunately Notification Area is
deprecated and all Ubuntu apps are being ported to use application
indicators. Both Unity and GNOME Shell are also getting rid of
Notification Area.
NM-applet should work out of the box as it has nm-applet-use-
indicator.patch when built on Ubuntu. There is a third-party indicator
available for Pidgin, as well.
So if you really want to use Notification Area, you'll have to add it
manually.
** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)

Title:
Add notification-area to panel-default-layout.layout
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Baltix:
New
Bug description:
Upstream gnome-panel includes notification-area:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/plain/data/panel-default-layout.layout
In Ubuntu, debian/patches/01_layout.patch changes that file in order to make
use of indicator-applet-complete. That patch is Ubuntu-specific, it doesn't
exist in Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gnome-panel/debian/patches/
The problem is that that patch also removes notification-area, so
applications like pidgin, stardict etc (and even nm-applet in Trusty)
don't show up at all.
Please modify that patch so that notification-area is not removed,
i.e. add the following lines to it:
[Object notification-area]
object-iid=NotificationAreaAppletFactory::NotificationArea
toplevel-id=top-panel
pack-type=end
pack-index=1
I'm attaching an updated 41_classic_layout.patch.
