Reactions not triggering banner notifications, only sounds #30800

@UntypedLetter

Description

@UntypedLetter

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable notifications on reactions, via the API, and set a tweak for sound also.
  2. Now send a message to someone and tell them to react to it.
  3. You'll notice that Element triggers only sound notifications but fails to trigger any banner notifications.

P.S: The Nheko client triggers both (sound and banner) successfully, so it is likely an Element only issue.

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expected to see a visual notification like:

"Justin Bieber reacted 👍 to:
Let's jam on Thursday night!"

It's so that we know "who" reacted, "what" reaction / emoji was used, and to "which" message.
You can check out Nheko which successfully triggers a visual pop-up with the sound.

What happened instead?

Only a sound notification was triggered. No visual or banner.
