i3-wm systray icons not working (notify-osd)

Hi, I'm using i3wm as windows manager and I installed libnotify and notify-osd . Everything stop working some weeks ago.
I'm using an external monitor as primary monitor, but I don't think it is relevant because it was working also with this kind of setup.
I can't see  my apps notification and also manually using the command 

notify-send

nothing appears on the screen or as terminal output.
I also don' know wich output can help you in solving the problem so please ask me everything necessary. Thank you so much

maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/I3 … ot_visible ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: i3-wm systray icons not working (notify-osd)

check your ~/.config/i3/config file and post its conntents.
Does it have a tray_output primary directive in it ?

also post xrandr -q output.

I have to say that notifications does not work also when my laptop is not connected to my monitor.

i3 config :

# This file has been auto-generated by i4-config-wizard(1).
# It will not be overwritten, so edit it as you like.
#
# Should you change your keyboard layout some time, delete
# this file and re-run i3-config-wizard(1).

# i3 config file (v4)

# Please see https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference!

set $mod Mod4

# Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
# is used in the bar {} block below.
#font pango:monospace 11
#font "System San Francisco Display 18"
font pango:FontAwesome 12
#font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 13
# This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left
# text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).

# Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
# font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
# clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
# X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
# font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.
