Previously in Wheezy 7 and before there were packages called:

  update-notifier
  update-notifier-common
  update-manager-gnome
  update-manager
  update-manager-core
  update-manager
  update-notifier

I always eschew those and remove them which is why I have the list.
But it sounds like you want them?  In any case when I look now they
all say:

  Transitional dummy package replacing update-notifier with GNOME-PackageKit

Therefore I assume those are all obsoleted now by GNOME-PackageKit.
Do you have GNOME-PackageKit installed?

If so then I assume that having replaced the update notifiers above
that it should be doing the notification.  If not then it looks like a
deficiency of that gnome package that it has replaced the previous.

As I said, I eschew those and therefore can't tell if GNOME-PackageKit
notifies now or not.  I can only presume that it does.
