Edit /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.Notifications.service (or
whatever the file is called in your distro):

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
#Exec=/usr/lib64/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd
Exec=/bin/true

Alternatively you can just remove the file. I haven't tested it but I'm
confident it works. Not sure if gnome-power-manager likes it though.
