Bug Description

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop

Ran the following:
$> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gm-notify-maintainers/ppa
$> sudo apt update
$> sudo apt install gm-notify

Attempting to launch gm-notify via command line resulted in:
/usr/bin/gm-notify:33: PyGIWarning: Notify was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gio, GLib, Gst, MessagingMenu, Notify
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gm-notify", line 33, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gio, GLib, Gst, MessagingMenu, Notify
ImportError: cannot import name MessagingMenu

Only workaround was to perform the following:
$> sudo apt install libmessaging-menu-dev

Maybe the dependencies aren't being met for the .deb being installed?

I removed gm-notify and libmessaging-menu-dev via apt. I then reinstalled gm-notify only. gm-notify works now without that libmessaging-menu-dev dependency having to be installed. Thank you for the fix!!
