The packages are available in the 14.04 repos, therefore you could open 
a terminal (konsole) and use the command

sudo apt-get install git libnotify4 gvfs-bin

or maybe

sudo apt-get install -f

is sufficient. BTW: IIRC, muon doesn't show all available packages. It 
would be better to use synaptic instead. I think there is also a package 
muon-something which is supposed to do the same, but I can't remember 
which package that would be.
