At least part of this is ubuntu specific. The distribution patch
lp341684_device_sensitive_disconnect_notify.patch
in the package network-manager-applet sets this notification importance
to NOTIFY_URGENCY_CRITICAL. I can confirm that if you change this to
NOTIFY_URGENCY_NORMAL, the notification disappears after the timeout
Apparently, gnome-shell keeps on showing NOTIFY_URGENT_CRITICAL
notifications, even if they are marked as "transient". The ubuntu-
specific patch assumes the unity behavior. This is probably the cause of
the bug.
I'm marking network-manager-applet as affected.

Title:
GNOME Shell 3.2.0 falsely states: "Network Disconnected - you are now
offline"
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
GNOME Shell 3.2.0 falsely reports in the bottom middle for more than 30
minutes: "Network Disconnected - you are now offline".
The contrary is true: I am online and I can connect to an arbitrary Internet
address web site via Firefox.
I expect that GNOME Shell does not make this false notification.
