notifiy-send -r flag not working

I'm trying to increase volume above 100% so I disabled the default volume controls and notifications in pulseaudio plugin and added my own in the keyboard shortcuts now I'm able to change the volume above 100 using keyboard but I wasn't getting a notification

So, I made a script volume-notify and decided to run it with the command to change notification

#!/bin/sh

current_volume="$(pamixer --get-volume-human)"
notify-send  "Volume $current_volume" -t 1800 -r 4567

with dunst it was working fine but with xfce4-notifyd I get lots of notifications like new notification everytime i press volume key I only want one the new notification should replace the prev one like -r flag says..

also, the notifications get saved in history too.. is there a way to avoid that?

That's how it should work. What version of xfce4-notifyd are you running?

also, the notifications get saved in history too.. is there a way to avoid that?

In newer versions you have the option to exclude certain applications from logging:

Re: notifiy-send -r flag not working

0.6.4

I don't have those options.. so it's a version problem?

off topic but could you tell me that gtk theme and icon theme?

I found a fix using python replaces the notification so I'll just make it a python script I'll look into it tomorrow
