When the "Mirror Displays" option is not checked, I am getting desktop notifications on the display which has the "white bar" in System Preferences/Display/Arrangement - and that's working fine, but when I turn on "Mirror Display" option, although both displays do have the "white bar" in Arrangement settings, I do not get desktop notifications on any of them.

Is there a solution for this?

This is how my System Preferences/Display/Arrangement settings look like - two displays, both with white bar on the top, but still not getting any notifications: enter image description here

By default, Do Not Disturb is enabled when your display is being mirrored. This is to prevent personal notifications from popping up during a presentation. :)

You can disable this in the Notifications section of System Preferences:

  • This does solve the problem. I think I just had to unplug the monitor from the MacBook, and plug-in it again to make this work, but that's it, it works! Thanks!

The reason is the same as the accepted answer, but the position of the option is slightly different on Monterey:
