I installed empathy in Lubuntu.

I want a notification to popup when a message is received.

However, when I open edit -> preferences -> notifications, it doesn't have an option, "show incoming messages in the messaging menu" as usual.

What should I do to enable message notifications?

I'm not sure, but did you check that telepathy-indicator is up and running ?
You might have to install it with::

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install telepathy-indicator

Then you can launch it on the command line or in the Startup Applications.

This worked for me on Ubuntu 12.10 with Empathy 3.6.0.3-0ubuntu1.

I have no idea if this is off-topic for Lubuntu...
