ok :) so that leave very few reasons for this not working.

if other applications using the same kdelibs are showing their popup 
notifications in the notification plasmoid, then the knotify4 daemon sees the 
dbus service and is using it. as soon as that happens, ALL popup notifications 
go through the dbus service and NO KPassivePopup windows are created.

(see kde-runtime/knotify/notifybypopup.cpp)

so ... what could be going wrong?

my best gues is that your app is not be connecting to knotify4 (or to a 
different knotify4 than the one running in your desktop session; that could 
plausibly happen if running the application as a different user)

it may be worth killing knotify4 and starting it again from a konsole and 
seeing what sort of debug output you get when the notifications from your app 
trigger. or .. seeing if there is more than one knotify process running in the 
first place :)
