Probably notification-daemon or notify-osd.
Once a process claims specified D-Bus name for the notification system, it 
owns it. All other programs capable of being a notification provider just 
don't get any of the calls.

So if this happens with a clean session, something might have either invoked 
the other notification provider before plasma-desktop could claim it or 
something created a notification and D-Bus decided to activate one (not sure 
if any of the notification providers install a .service file for that though)
