  2. Launch a toast notification.
  3. Let the app window fall out of focus/bring another application into the foreground.
  4. Click on the notification.

Added App.MainWindow.BringToFront() in OnNotificationInvoked with https://github.com/microsoft/TemplateStudio/pull/4557/commits/31f363869720d42a0bc20261e124ac597cc3f151.

Usually this just results in the taskbar icon flashing which is by design behavior for SetForegroundWindow APIs. Open question about if the shell can bring the app to the foreground automatically.

Remaining work here to improve the experience is likely in the platform.
