Agreed. Until the developers come up with a configuration utility for
the notification system, I will rather disable the whole thing.

Copy paste from here:

You can turn off these notify-osd notifications by typing this single
command in your terminal:

sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled

Restart your computer. They're gone. Forever!

I do this on every fresh install. :)
