Integrate system Notification with autoUpdater

[hql287]

Show the notification once the download is completed.

I forgot to say I got a beginning of a PR for this, basically you can disable/enable notifications in settings/general and the code would looks like this:

import OSNotification from 'app/helpers/notification'
OSNotifciation(title, body)

Right now I am deciding whether to include the Manta Icon or the Company Icon you choose in settings/profile. Either way I have to figure out how to first read the image so I can use it for the notification. Scroll down a little to see the Icon option for HTML5 Notification.

Nice 👍. I think I already added the notification helper with this commit Maybe we can try to reuse/refactor it?

It should always be Manta's icon as at the OS level, the user only needs to know which application just sent the notification. And this is already taken cared of by Electron.

Also, I noticed that there're a few helpers that we use across windows such as this one and the center-on-primary-display.js. I think we should have a shared folder called helpers in the project root for these helpers. Do you want to try refactoring this?

I didnt know about that commit 😮 I have never done anything preview related so have never looked inside the preview folder 😛

Yes of course 🙂

Does the Manta icon appear by default when you get notified?
It does not for me when I run the development environment on linux (yarn dev, yarn start) 😞

When I try to run yarn build and then yarn dist:linux it doesn't do the icons, I must do the icns2png ... command manually in the build folder to get the icons. But I have not tried this and then get notified, so I dont know whether the Manta Icon show by default or not.

Do you want to try refactoring this?

Sure I can give it a try 🙂

The icon will only show up in production. It's how Electron works, not sure why though.

If you really want to change the icon, you can try the Notification module, which only works in the main process. But in this case, I think using the HTML5 Notification API is enough.

Sure I can give it a try 🙂
