I you are talking about the new ubuntu 9 black top right notificaiton....

I think that you can install it from synaptic by searching for "Notify-osd" and install it.

Hope it is the thing that you need, also i hope that my reply is helpgul.

Try and feedback.......

Yes. You just have to uninstall notify-osd package.

sudo apt-get purge notify-osd

sudo apt-get purge notify-osd

I have tried this command, it removed the new one and it didnt replace it with the old one, now I dont have any notification working :(
I have tried to restart after but the same results :(

My bad. You need the old notification system.

sudo apt-get install notification-daemon
I suggest you reboot your PC after installing the package.
