It is not possible due to MasterPages being a server side resource that will not be served by IIS, which is being referenced in your $.ajax call.

If you require that multiple content pages be able to access a WebMethod, move your code to a Web Service (ASMX) instead.

// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, unment the following line. 
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class SiteService: System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    [WebMethod]
    public static string UpdateNotification(string nForId)
    {
        string returnValue = string.Empty;
        try
        {
            using (SqlConnection connection = ConnectionManager.GetDatabaseConnection())
            {
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("UpdateNotification", connection);
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@nForId", nForId);
                returnValue = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
                connection.Close();
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            returnValue = "error";
        }
        return returnValue;
    }
}

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "SiteService.asmx/UpdateNotification",
    ...

If the only purpose of #notificationLink is to invoke javascript, then you can get rid of the server control.

<a id="notificationLink">Notifications</a>

$("#notificationLink").click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $("#notificationContainer").fadeToggle(300);
    $("#notification_count_span").fadeOut("slow");
    updateNotification();
});
