node-notifier works for Windows 7 but this doesn't?

Using node-notifier works for Windows 7. But for some reason this plugin is based on node-notifier but it doesn't work for Windows 7. Am I misunderstanding something?

Hi! Windows 7 doesn't have toaster-like notifications. But node-notifier should fallback to bouble-notifications (tooltip to the lower right corner usually). Or if you want more fully fledged notifications, you can use Growl.

Yes, node-notifier falls back to the bubble notifications when I use node-notifier directly in my project. But what I'm saying is that when I attempt to use gulp-notify I don't get any bubble notifications. Does that make sense? Also this project says it specifically only supports Windows >= 8. So I'm just trying to get some clarification if I should be seeing bubble notifications on Windows 7 or not. I do with node-notifier, just not with this.
