Enable the built-in notification[1] in the TB preferences. Works for me.
[1] General tab. "Show an alert" checkbox.
That's only visible if I mouse down to the lower right corner. I want
something on the top bar that flashes or shows a number for unread or
new messages.
The whole notification area idea in Gnome Shell needs work, but I'm
looking for a workaround while such issues of philosophy are worked through.
