Hi, the OP needs to add the Notification Area panel plugin https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/systray and/or to adjust the Notification Area panel plugin configuration. There's something named nm-applet. How to auto-start it depends on the desktop environment, it either has got a desktop-environment related wrapper or you probably can use a freedesktop.org auto-start approach via dbus-launch or a systemd unit to autostart it. I'm neither using NetworkManager nor xfce4-panel nor a desktop environment, hence I can't provide the explicit details, but just the principle things like this do work. I'm an openbox user who does use a few Xfce4 apps. I don't know if xfce4-notifyd is involved. This is probably an annoyance to drop the few xfce4-apps I'm still using in the near future. The more GNOMEish Xfce4 gets, the more annoying it becomes even just using a few Xcfe4 apps.
