It's an issue with Spotify, it doesn't identify itself to the notification server when it sends a notification.
I believe this is due to the fact that Spotify is built on electron and this used to be a bug with electron based applications, which was fixed here: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/12192/files
So Spotify is probably still based on an old version of electron that doesn't contain that fix.
There's more details about this in https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-notifications/issues/193 , so I'll close this issue as a duplicate of that.
Dunno if this changes something, but Spotify doesn‘t use Electron. They built their own GUI framework, before Electron. They use the „chromium embedded framework,“ see https://www.spotify.com/de/opensource/
Ah well, maybe so.
Doesn't change anything though. It's a fact that the Spotify client doesn't sent a desktop-entry
hint which is what would be required for it to be identified: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification-spec/notification-spec-latest.html#hints
Is there anyplace or person at Spotify we can complain to in order to expedite getting this fixed?
