I was having this problem in 13.04 final release (fresh install). I googled and found this, from http://askubuntu.com/questions/244603/how-to-keep-pidgin-libnotify-not-blacklisted-from-messaging-menu :

Here is what I found out... If you open Pidgin > Tools > plugins, make sure that "libnotify popups 0.14" is checked. Unchecking it removes pidgin from the mesaging menu.

If you want to stop the popups then configure the plugin by highlighting the plugin and clicking "configure plugin" then uncheck the boxes by the popups you don't want.

See also http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin-libnotify/+bug/480030 , which seems to be the same issue in Ubuntu 9.10.
