Allow notifications of apps

[AntoineTurmel]

Sites like Skype or Wunderlist uses notifications, it would be great to add them in the manifest ;)

Not sure what you mean? Allow them to use notifications?

Yes. In terms of UI it could be a popup allowing the user to set permissions of the Standalone app.

Hm, yeah that's going to take some doing. I wonder what Firefox permissions do when user is fullscreen, and if that might happen here already.

I don't have time right now to do this, but you could test by requesting notification permissions from a page, and making it an app with Standalone, and see what happens?

If y'all want to investigate, I'm glad to review your changes and add this feature! I just don't have time to work on it right now.

@autonome yeah but I have to work a bit more on this, as this commit allow notifications for every website, IMHO we should ask the user before (like Firefox Desktop/Firefox OS/Android does)

[autonome]

ah yeah, good for prototype but maybe not for release.

I wonder what the doorhanger prompt does when there's no XUL window...

Is the prompt really needed, since one already approves the webapp to some extent by promoting it to a desktop app. Having them enabled now and adding an improved version later is imho better than not having them at all :-) Thanks for making them work in the first place!

[autonome]

I agree that we should allow notifications by default, instead of forcing explicit user approval like a web site.

Apps can provide their own notification management in user preferences... like native desktop apps do!
