You have been subscribed to a public bug:

If a notification with 0 expiry time, for example

    notify-send -t 0 "Please acknowledge."

is handled while the user is typing, and the window manager is
configured to grant focus to new windows, the user may press ENTER just
after the alert box pops up, dismissing it without having read or even
noticed it.

There should perhaps be a minimum display time for messages which must
be acknowledged, during which time it is not possible, or at least less
convenient, to dismiss them.

Alternatively, the initial keyboard focus in the alert box could be
given to some other control.  However, this is not foolproof, as the
user might press TAB and then ENTER in quick succession.
