I think "effected" here is an adjective modifying the noun "notification", and "recently" is an adverb modifying the adjective "effected". Still I agree that "effected" is correct, for a different reason. In this case "effected" means "done, accomplished", As in, " he plans to effect a radical change of course by making a speedy u-turn, in spite of affecting traffic badly, to tragic effect."
