I have had Android, Blackberry, webOS, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 devices out of all of them I like the notifications in WP7 the best. When I get a call the phone rings when I have a voice mail I get an alert both of these are fallowed by a flashing green light on my phone. When I get an email I get an alert same goes for text messages. All of the email, text, voicemail and missed calls are shown on the lock screen and on there appropriate live tile. What I want to know is for those of you who think the notification system on WP is inadequate what are you missing?
I say give it some time get to know the WP system. The WP7 system of notifications might be different than what you are used to but that doesn't make this system bad it just makes it different. Maybe this system is not what you want exactly but I think, given time, you will grow to love the Windows Phone way of doing things.
One thing I really like about WP and notifications is how if when using bluetooth if I get a text I can listen to the text and reply to the text without ever even looking at my phone. No other system does that.

Update: So far the main issue with notifications are:
1) Toast Notifications disappear with out being read
2) Some would like a controllable blinking LED for notifications
3) Allow apps to add notifications to the lock screen
