There is a bug where the systray is not always being loaded, it turns out to be a problem with the fact that another indicator application is being loaded in the background and that package needs to be removed to both get system notifications being logged and to get the systray to properly being loaded.
To get everything to work as intended you need to remove the following two packages:
ayatana-indicator-application
ayatana-indicator-common

Do NOT remove any of the other ayatana packages as they are needed.
You can remove these to packages by ether opening synaptic and search for them and mark as remove and the hit apply or you can open up a terminal and type the following:
sudo apt remove ayatana-indicator-application ayatana-indicator-common -y
