notify-send does not support the enqueue option, which is needed to tell dbus notification whether or not to enqueue the message or display it all at once. Also, the -t option in the commands you entered are for 100 seconds, as the -t is in milliseconds, but it doesn't matter anyway, as ubuntu has disabled the timeout option for its notification system. All of the messages sent from notify send get ~10 seconds.

NAME
notifyd - Cyrus notification server
SYNOPSIS
notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
[ -D ]
DESCRIPTION
Notifyd is a daemon started from cyrmaster(8) that handles notification requests on behalf of lmtpd(8). Notifyd accepts the request and
performs the notification using the method specified in the request.
Note that for notifyd to run properly you must set proto=udp in its cyrus.conf services entry. prefork=1 is also recommended.
Notifyd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. The notifysocket option is used to
specify the Unix domain socket to listen on for notifications.
OPTIONS
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-U uses
The maximum number of times that the process should be used for new connections before shutting down. The default is 250.
-T timeout
The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero) will dis-
able the timeout. The default is 60.
-D Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
NOTIFICATION METHODS
null Ignore the notification request.
log Log the notification to syslog (for testing).
mailto Email the notification. This method can ONLY be used in a Sieve 'notify' action as it requires a mailto: URL to be specified as an
:option.
zephyr Send the notification as a zephyrgram. If used in a Sieve 'notify' action, additional recipients can be specified as :options.
external
Send the notification via an external program. The path to the program is specified using the notify_external option in the config-
uration file.
FILES
/etc/imapd.conf
Default configuration file.
/etc/cyrus.conf
Cyrus Master process configuration file.
