The error message indicates that `gnus-group-unread' (which is a macro)
is called like a function.  Glancing at the gnus-notify.el code at

  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/gnus-notify.el

I can't see where this happens.

Could you do M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET and then trigger the problem
again?  You'll get a *backtrace* buffer that will help to spot the
problem.

> who can fix it!

Probably the gnus-notify.el author.  His name and email address are
listed in the file.

Bye,
Tassilo

BTW: Very new, not yet released Gnus/Emacs versions have a
gnus-notifications.el that provides about the same features.  You might
want to switch to that once emacs 24.3 has been released.

It kinda looks like you've compiled gnus-notify against a different
version of Gnus than you're running it against.  Just delete the
gnus-notify.elc file, and things may start working.
