The notification tray at the bottom of my desktop screen gets overcrowded with notification icons after several notify-send messages appear. Is there a way to clear this tray?

Yes: you can right-click your icons and select "Remove" from the pop-up list:
Alternatively, you can left-click each one and click on its notification bubble to acknowledge and clear it.

... I think the OP wants a way to clear all notifications all at once...– fossfreedom ♦Commented Nov 29, 2011 at 23:08

@fossfreedom Unless there's an extension that does this, I am not aware of any other way to do it out-of-the-box. Commented Nov 29, 2011 at 23:16

Is there a way to get Unity to automatically remove notifications from the tray after a certain period of time?– danCommented Nov 29, 2011 at 23:25

@dan AFAIK Unity already gets rid of its notifications after a couple seconds of displaying them. Unless you meant GNOME Shell...then in that case, there's no way to do it from the default install that I know of, unless there's an extension somewhere. Commented Nov 29, 2011 at 23:29

It's funny because it didn't do that earlier as far as I can remember. There is also an extension that specifically makes notifications permanent, which suggests notifications should not stay otherwise (/confusion/?) Commented Feb 6, 2012 at 16:34
