yea the idea of speech bubbles is very good. They are self explainable and reduce time identifying the element that generated them. Also gnome-shell uses similar on their menus and many popular websites use it for tips/notifications (i.e. fb).

for a quick mockup, next time just use a plain 1 color background and cut/paste the notification closer to the panel. Then fill in the empty area with another area of the bg :D
