I see this too on a HiDPI display. I was able to workaround it by using Steffen's suggestion:
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd.real

Then creating /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd with:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
export GDK_SCALE=1.0
exec /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd.real

Then:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd

Test with:
$ sudo killall notify-osd
$ notify-send test

Note: once you are using the above wrapper you will use 'sudo killall
notify-osd.real' instead.

Title:
  osd notifications blurry

Status in notify-osd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently clean installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 Trusty Tahr. With hidpi scale
  set to 2, and text scale set to .75, all on screen notifications  have
  been blurry to the point of being unreadable. Any ideas on what could
  cause this?
