For example, I installed the Flatpak for Audacity which currently ships version 2.1.3. How can I receive an update notification once version 2.2.0 is out?

GNOME Software will notify you of available Flatpak and DPKG updates if you install the Flatpak backend (apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak). This is installed by default in most Linux distributions with GNOME Software; except Ubuntu since they want to promote Snap instead (gnome-software-plugin-snap).

    As a remark, the gnome-software-plugin-* packages are available starting from Artful (Ubuntu 17.10). They're not available for the as-of-now latest LTS, Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04), or other versions before Artful. – Henning Kockerbeck Apr 09 '18 at 10:42
