notifications
Display notifications to the user, using the underlying operating system's notification mechanism. Because this API uses the operating system's notification mechanism, the details of how notifications appear and behave may differ according to the operating system and the user's settings.
To use this API you need to have the "notifications" permission.
The notification looks the same on all desktop operating systems. Something like:

notifications.TemplateType-
The type of notification. For example, this defines whether the notification can contain an image.
