What browser are you using? I get the notifications (after I have activated
them) using Chromium.

I presume whatever browser you used to set it up will need to be running in
order to get the notifications, so the other question is whether the
browser is running when you get new messages. I almost always have a tab
with gmail in it so I have never looked for notifications when I don't have
gmail already open.
