Although perhaps not usually required, it may help to make sure that you are "tracking" the story quest, and not some other side quest. This might help resolve the issue of being notified as you fulfill (or do not fulfill) the quest goal. And as mentioned previously, you gotta find Montrose, keep sinking ships!
