1. Put the following code in your functions.php. If you want a demo i can show you.

   // my custom notification menu www.cityflavourmagazine.com
   
   function my_bp_adminbar_notifications_menu() {
   global $bp;
   
   if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
       return false;
   
   echo '<li id="top-notification">';
   _e( 'Alerts', 'buddypress' );
   
   if ( $notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) { ?>
       <span><?php echo count( $notifications ) ?></span>
   <?php
   }
   
   echo '</a>';
   echo '<ul>';
   
   if ( $notifications ) {
       $counter = 0;
       for ( $i = 0; $i < count($notifications); $i++ ) {
           $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ' class="alt"' : ''; ?>
   
           <li<?php echo $alt ?>><?php echo $notifications[$i] ?></li>
   
           <?php $counter++;
       }
   } else { ?>
   
       <li><a href="<?php echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain ?>"><?php _e( 'You have no new alerts.', 'buddypress' ); ?></a></li>
   
   <?php
   }
   
   echo '</ul>';
   echo '</li>';
   }
   

   Use the following code to call it anywhere you like. Note: you can amend the above code as you like

   <?php my_bp_adminbar_notifications_menu()?>

2. look at this page
   http://www.colegeissinger.com/blog/2012/12/04/get-buddypress-notifications-count/
   where he explains like below:

   Put that function into your functions.php file

       function cg_current_user_notification_count() {
       $notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user(bp_loggedin_user_id(), 'object');
       $count = !empty($notifications) ? count($notifications) : 0;
   
       echo $count;
        }
   

   in front end use,

   Notificaitons : <?php cg_current_user_notification_count(); ?>
