<<I looked in several online dictionaries, renotification was nowhere to be
seen.>>

>From Read Me First: A Style Guide for the Computer Industry, pages 79-80:

"Because the computer industry has developed unique terminology, the use of
hyphens has become troublesome. Computer documents are often littered with
unnecessary hyphens. . . apply this general rule: Hyphenate a multiword
expression when used as a modifier; do not hyphenate the expression when
used as a verb or noun."

Hope this helps.

Margaret
