Thanks for reporting this bug and help in making Ubuntu better. This is still present in Ubuntu 14.04 with Rhythmbox 3.0.1. I have filed a but upstream, but I think there may be a rationale behind this notification. Imagine that you are playing music, and you mute for some reason the music. If you close Rhythmbox, there will be music still playing in the background. But if there is not music playing Rhythmbox will close for good, so the notification is telling you that this is the case. It is different with Skype or Firefox, there's never anything going on in the background when you close them. I think this is what they are going to answer upstream about this bug.

Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Unknown Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Open Rhythmbox Close Rhythmbox Notice a notification bubble appears which announces "Not Playing" along with the RB logo. This seems unnecessary given I'm currently not listening to anything and I actively closed the RB window - indicating that I'm not wanting to listen to something. I don't need to be told that the music player is now no longer playing. Skype doesn't tell me it's not on a call when I close it, and firefox doesn't tell me I'm not browsing when I close that.
