Okay, how about this.

If you stop any connection from software (e.g. by choosing “Disconnect”
in the menu), no notification bubble should appear.

If a connection ends in any other way, a notification bubble should
appear with the icon of the connection, “Disconnected” as primary text,
and the name of the connection as secondary text. If there are no other
active connections, the primary text should be “Disconnected — offline”.

That still isn't supremely elegant, but at least the notification
wouldn't be appearing every time you switch networks or go into flight
mode.

Title:
  "Disconnected - you are now offline" case needs better copy/solution

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There should be a more clever solution for differentiating between
  "device disconnected" and "you are offline" cases. At the moment
  seeing "you are now offline" message every time I get disconnected is
  very annoying if there's only one connection source.
