Odd, on my systems the x-nokia.call event type is built in.  What happens
if you try with the device.added event type?

  mnotificationtool -a add -i device.added -c 1 "Test Event" \
  "Summary text" "Body text" icon-m-telephony-call-missed

If that fails, try any/all of the event types found in the following
directory (minus the ".conf" extension):

  /usr/share/meegotouch/notifications/eventtypes/

I tried with device.added like shown above and I get a notification
banner sliding out from the top/left of the screen, just below the
status bar.

If you still do not see this, then I would make sure you are running
mcompositor, duihome and/or the mthemedaemon.
