Which Ubuntu version is this? My guess is that it requires the gtk2 version which I didn't build for 13.04 (though there is indicators-notifications-gtk2 in 12.04 and 12.10). It might be possible to build it for 13.04 but it will require at least one change to enable eavesdropping so that it works at all.

my ubuntu version is 12.04(not lubuntu). i tried the gtk2-version,it didnt work as well,.

Did you install the lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin? If so you should check the panel properties to make sure it is enabled. I will test it later today, maybe something is broken.

Okay I examined it today. Even if you enable the indicator plugin like I suggest in comment #3 it will not work because they changed the code to only allow six indicators in the panel, and mine is not one of them. So there really isn't much I can do about the issue. You could file a bug against lxpanel, but I'm not sure they'd change it. If you do file a bug about it, feel free to subscribe me to it. The fix would be about 4 lines of code to indicator.c but again I'm not sure they would be interested.

For fun and profit, here's a debdiff that fixes lxpanel so the indicator shows up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6253814/
