In your function, the actual command send to shell is 'notify-send Time is
up! 1 minutes'
dove@bash-4.2$ notify-send Time is up! 1 minutes
Invalid number of options.
You should modify your function in this way, quote notification string
before send it to your shell
(defun show-notification (notification)
(shell-command (format "notify-send '%s'" notification) )
)
