I use 3 tricks to notify me of events:

1. xosd
2. festival
3. notify-send

For Notify-send, I simply do:

notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' --icon=dialog-information

For it to work under fvwm/Archlinux I have to add the 2 tweaks from my xinitrc ( xinitrc.d folder reading and start daemon the xdg way )
