I think you're looking for gnome-packagekit which does exactly
what you're looking for. It works nicely with MATE on my laptop.

gnome-packagekit runs gpk-update-viewer to display an update
dialog, see [1]. You will probably need to add a cron job
for APT in /etc/cron.daily/apt to keep your package index
up-to-date which seems necessary for gpk-update-viewer to
pop up automatically.
