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)
  → screenshot of expected behavior http://hpics.li/4fb6d59

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

  Is this intended behavior ?

  More than 3 months later can someone tell at least if this was 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.

  2017-01-28 Today I've booted on my 16.04 I hadn't booted for at least
  2 weeks, expecting some updates. After 2 hours running, absolutely no
  warning any where about potential updates. So I ran synaptic and yes
  many updates are available http://hpics.li/ca343ba
