xfce4-notifyd doesn't start automatically, and I don't know how to start it

I'm using Xubuntu 20.10 and have noticed that no notifications come through, and when I check my notifications settings, it says "The notification service is not running. No notifications will be shown."
I did some digging and I found that the service wasn't being started automatically. xfce4-notifyd is installed, but I'm not sure how to start it (or for that matter, have it automatically start).

Solved it on my own! I had to create a launcher in the whisker menu to run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd and set it to autostart every time I logged in.
