    I found out that using Notify which comes with python gi.repository was way better than using libnotify. Because with Notify no extra work had to be done to make the links clickable plus it was easy to use. It also worked when I tried it on ubuntu 16.04 which is a unity environment. Information about gi.repository and its many functionalities can be found here http://nullege.com/codes/search/gi.repository.Notify.Notification.new
