If it's missing, you removed it, or something else went wrong with
your install or updates. Regardless, as Michael said, you can add it
back as he described.
Once you've found your Device Notifier, click on it to open it up.
Hover the mouse over the USB device in the list of attached devices,
and click the disconnect button to the right of the mounted device
name. There is a handy tooltip that shows up if you hover over the it
and tells you that you click that button to safely remove.
You can also just open a file manager (Dolphin) and right-click on the
USB device name on the left column. You will get a "Safely remove"
option in the popup menu.
If you're just trying to find the USB device to mount/open it... when
you plug it in, it's added to the list of devices in the Device
notifier. You can click on it to mount and open it from there, or you
just open a file manager (Dolphin) and pick it from the list on the
left.

How can I get the same convenient icon on the Desktop machine?

I put it on my desktop, but it works well in the system tray as well.
