MATE team switched mate-notification-daemon to use libnotify instead
of libmatenotify. Don't know if that helps, but I am also now the
owner of libnotify. Looking at updating to libnotify 0.80 as well.

It was a simple switch and it seems to work (still testing).

https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-notification-daemon/commit/d263541b686f36a8f61c00eaee4d852ce5e8a766

mate-notification-daemon-1.5.2 supports libnotify >= 0.70
