In GNOME, it's the area on the panel with the clock, user-switcher,
power, printing active, software update, security icons (some always on,
some pop on to notify you of changed states).  (Similar to the area near
the clock in Windows.)  By default, it's at the upper right corner, next
to the volume control.

It's got three small gray spots at its left end that you can grab to
move or right-click to configure.

Right-click on a panel, add to panel -> notification area.
