Getting notify to work in gmail with ubuntu 14.04

Thu Apr 28 12:58:07 UTC 2016

The notify is supposed to indicate on the desktop when there is new mail in
gmail even when gmail is not open.
I have followed the "Turn notifications on or off" for gmail but nothing
shows up on the desktop.
Is ubuntu interfering with this?
thanks
