This just starts the D-Bus daemon. The error message above indicates,
that a corresponding notifications daemon isn't registered with D-Bus.

I don't know your environment; on my Fedora system this is offered by
Gnome, and started like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/usr/bin/gjs -m /usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.Shell.Notifications
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I found a German page describing this for fluxbox using another daemon,
perhaps it helps you: <https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/notify-in-fluxbox/>.

Best regards, Michael.
