I finally see what happened.  The file 
"/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service", 
provided by package plasma-workspace is new, and is conflicting with 
file org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service.  When I move it out 
of the way, xfce4-notifyd launches properly:

Jun 26 12:19:31 darosedm dbus-daemon[640]: Activating via systemd: 
service name='org.freedesktop.Notifications' unit='xfce4-notifyd.service'
Jun 26 12:19:31 darosedm systemd[614]: Starting XFCE notifications 
service...
Jun 26 12:19:31 darosedm dbus-daemon[640]: Successfully activated 
service 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
Jun 26 12:19:31 darosedm systemd[614]: Started XFCE notifications service.
Jun 26 12:20:12 darosedm dbus-daemon[640]: Reloaded configuration

Now I just need to figure out how to resolve the conflict.
