I have notify-send and all the requirments installed, but when I run a simple command

notify-send "Test" "Test Message"

nothing happens, but if I run the same command through sudo, it works.

System processes can send notifications with no problem, so I see a popup when I join a new wireless LAN, for example.

What group do I need to be a member of in order to send notifications?

Check the owner of the notify-osd process:

ps -e -o fname,user | grep notify-o

On my system, it is the current user. If it is not, try killing the process and restart it as current user.

For me the problem was that there are too notifications acumulated. if you try notification-properties > prewiew. It tells you. You should restart notification-daemon:

sudo killall notification-daemon
/usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon
