The visitors compiled 329 in their first innings, anchored by Jamie Dunk's 141 from 196 deliveries.
Drew Owen mopped up the Foxes' tail to finish with 4/29, with Akand Gangorta taking 4/53.
Notts neared parity in reply, amassing 315 with a starring role from Freddie McCann (139).
Opener McCann has recorded a wicket in each Leicestershire innings - and he removed dangerman Dunk in the contest's third innings.
Thomas Giles, currently boasting figures of 2/10 from six overs, removed the Leicestershire top two, with Farhan Ahmed also taking two wickets, as the Grace Road outfit reached 174/7 at stumps on the penultimate day, leading by 188.
