I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 and found this issue has never been resolved.
Marking it as fix released for the Unity fixes is fine but that does not resolve the core issue of this bug ticket, namely the updated will not show up. Redirecting to other bug tickets is not the solution so I have added the update-manager package and marked #925260 as a duplicate of this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Similarly if I do Super-S or Super-W it doesn't show up anywhere. Even if I alt-tab to the application nothing shows up. This happens only when update manager runs on its own. If I kill it and then launch it myself it comes to the foreground just fine. I'm not 100% sure whether this is a unity, compiz, or update-manager bug but so far my bet is on unity. =====Original Report===== Bug #877444 is showing again in latest updates, please re-open it.
