Duplicate (but slightly different) notification for yearling badge

Question

I just noticed that the notification for the "Yearling" badge appears twice in slightly different incarnations.

Yes, I heard you the first time

Looking at past notifications, the same thing happened when I got the "Yearling" badge for SuperUser, but not for Area51.

Why is this happening?

@TimStone that address why the first instance looks different but does not mention a duplicate notifications. — Shawn Chin, Commented Oct 2, 2012 at 17:13
They're technically different badges (although I don't know how the awarding criteria works for the one on the per-site meta), so that seems correct. — Tim Stone, Commented Oct 2, 2012 at 17:15

You get a meta yearling badge and a yearling badge for the main site.

This is what you're seeing, notice that the logos are slightly different (one color, the other monochrome)

It would be nice if the notification made that clearer.

Not always. If you don't visit and participate on the child meta it's not awarded on the meta (only the main).

@KeithThompson when in doubt, hover. The tooltip says which site the notification is from.
