I am pretty new to all this but I think you are indeed doing it the wrong way.

Getting a reference to a remote object

Idem

Registering to receive Signal but this is totally unrelated to the
previous code (getting hold of
remote objects). I aksed the same kind of question yesterday signals
are sent "to" object and not from so I threory
you need to implement the Object before you can listen to changed.

However apparently the Java implementation makes it possible to listen
to those signals but in that case you don't need to
get hold of the remote objects a all.

Here is an example that works for me

/**
http://github.com/keesj/dbus_glib_pthread/blob/master/java/src/com/test/RunNotification.java
**/
package com.test;

import org.freedesktop.dbus.DBusConnection;
import org.freedesktop.dbus.DBusSigHandler;
import org.freedesktop.dbus.exceptions.DBusException;

/**
 * dbus-send \
        --system \
        /com/test/Notification \
        com.test.Notification.Notify

 *
 */
public class RunNotification implements DBusSigHandler<Notification.Notify> {

        public static void main(String[] args) throws DBusException {
                RunNotification instance = new RunNotification();
                DBusConnection conn  =
DBusConnection.getConnection(DBusConnection.SYSTEM);
                conn.addSigHandler(Notification.Notify.class, instance);
        }

        public void handle(Notification.Notify arg0) {
                System.err.println("Notified");
        }
}
