Hi, recently I made this MR (unmerged) to the GLib project adding support to GNotification in Windows platform.

I would like to make a survey to GTK app developers that distribute their apps in Windows.

Are you comfortable with having a tray icon of your app in Windows, but with the benefit that you would be able to send desktop notifications in that platform?.

I explain in the MR that it’s required for the application to have an associated tray icon in order to send notifications, even if you hide it, it won’t work.

I was thinking because the backend wasn’t implemented since before 2018, it had some reasoning behind I was unaware of.

Hi,

Thanks for working on this!

I assume the tray icon and its HWND will only be created the first time the user calls g_application_send_notification()?
If yes that should not be an issue IMHO.
