i have the daemon and the binary but notify-send "summary" "text" seems to do nothing obvious. called from shell mode. my emacs is maximized. so is firefox.
Does notify-send complain (with some delay) concerning timeout during attempt to connect to d-bus?
I have found an Eric's message recommending dunst as a notification daemon for fluxbox.
Firefox has a fallback implementation to display notifications in the case of d-bus failure, so it is not the best app to test their appearance.
Fluxbox released versions (e.g. from Debian and Ubuntu packages) has a bug that may cause some applications, in particular Firefox, to be displayed above other windows. So it may hide a notification window. However if you have a terminal application in front of you, it should not be your case.
I am unsure if functions from notifications.el are better than notify-send in respect to error reporting.
Have you considered playing a tune as a notification?
