Bug description:
  Hi,

  Ubuntu 16.04 here w/ Unity

  I sometimes have some notification about available update for my
  system.

  But icon for update manager never automatically shows in launcher - as
  it used to in previous ubuntu version. (a green background icon with
  an A on)

  After seeing the update notification in 16.04 one has to manually run
  update-manager or synaptic.

  Is this intended behavior ?

  Notifications spring and vanish so it's very easy for users not to see
  them and then run a non-updated system for long… It's a basic security
  matter.
