Attached are screen shots of the notification icon going from both power states.

The only difference between the 2 is the glow effect the shows when moving to AC power, but this effect lasts for less that 1 second, and does not take into account the background, or a maximised window, which can mask out the effect.

If this is a bug with my install or some obscure hardware incompatibility, can someone point me towards a screen shot of what SHOULD be on my screen.

I have looked through the notification guidelines and specifications, but cannot understand why my suggestion cannot be implemented. All I am suggesting, "IF" this is a common issue is to improve the quality of the notification. The guidelines in place specify what events warrant a notification and which don't. My suggestion adheres to these and even use code utilised in other notifications, such as the low power warning to display the remaining power % and usability time.
