Persistent notifications in Unity

I'm a new user having just installed Ubuntu 12.10. I'm getting along well, but something is bugging me. I keep missing notifications which is getting me in trouble. Is there a way to make notifications / events more persistent? In Windows, for example, the taskbar flashes until I click it. In Android an icon stays in the taskbar until I tap or swipe it away. Regardless of the app.

Is there something similar I can do with Unity? Make the app icon flash when something happens?

Thanks!

I read an article about this quite a while ago, so I don't know if it's working at this moment. The package is called "Recent Notifications" and can be found at:

The original article where I read about it:

How to install via the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jconti/recent-notifications
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-notifications
