Should g_object_new match g_object_unref?

Question

I use libnotify to display desktop notifications in the application; notify_notification_new()returns NotifyNotification*which should be passed as the first parameter for further calls to the notification library functions.

No notify_notification_free(), which frees the returned pointer. I searched for the source notify_notification_new()and internally it executes g_object_new(), gets GObject * and returns it as NotfiyNotification*, so when my application does the cleanup, should I call a g_object_unref()in the pointer returned notify_notification_new()?
