Open the dash and enter in search bar: system
System-Monitor - first tab: System will tell the current kernel.

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/unity-dash-intro.html

Alternatively in a terminal: ctrl+alt+t
Enter:
uname -r

New kernel or other package updates will be announced by update-manager.
