When logged in to the iMac and the file has been actively added and you are looking at the screen.

If a file was added at 2pm but you were logged out, not at the machine or not looking at the screen you wont get one. They are on screen for a short time only, so, if you miss it you miss it. Also if you log in at 2.10pm you still wouldnt get the notification because you were not there when it happened.
