Just need to add StartupNotify=True into the .desktop file for that.

You are not aware of the associated spec: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/startup-notification/tree/doc/startup-notification.xml#n381 htop does not send X messages, it is not even an X application. So no.

Oh. now I get that. feel free to close the issue if there's no other way it can be done.

You can enable startup notifications in the better Desktop Environments, e.g. XFCE4 Starters -> Enable visual feedback on program launch (roughly translated from German so the wording may be different). That should do what you want and makes sense on slower systems.
