I've tried a number of options, none of them worked:

notify-send 'text'
kdialog --passivepopup 'text' 5
qdbus org.kde.knotify /Notify event "event" 'app' "(" ")" 'title' 'text' 'pixmap' '' 5 0

Update: first two options should work, in my case the problem is a KDE bug with autohiding panel: KDE5 popup notifications not shown if panel is autohidden

At least first two options should work, I just have a problem with notifications in KDE in general: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-runtime/+bug/1547752

notify-send 'text'
kdialog --passivepopup 'text' 5

On my install of Kubuntu 15.10 and KDE neon, notify-send command was not available until I installed the libnotify-bin package.

After installing libnotify-bin, notify-send works fine:

sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin

first 'notify-send' did not work for me. But when I enabled 'notifications' widget (/icon or whatever) in Tray, it worked.

Try enabling the Tray notifications applet.

In my case: I was in Do not disturb mode and had forgotten about it.
