Comment 1 for bug 36228

What version of notification-daemon do you use? Is it a up-to-date breezy? what
screensaver? gnome-screensaver? xscreensaver?

This problem should have been fixed with the upload of notification-daemon:
notification-daemon (0.2.1-0ubuntu12) breezy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/07_no_notification_on_screensaver.patch:
    - don't show the notification if another window is in fullscreen-mode
      (e.g. screensaver, media-player) (ubuntu #14944, #15783)

please check if you run this version (and if notification-daemon was restarted
since that version was installed. a simple killall notification-daemon will do)
