Desktop notification - Should always show when browser is minimized

[v1bh0r]

Steps to replicate the problem:

1. User A logs in.
2. User B logs in.
   (Both use Chrome with desktop notifications enabled.)
3. A has B selected and B has A selected on the chat pane.
4. A minimizes window.
5. B sends a message to A.
6. Notice no notification received.

Expected behavior:
Show notification.

I found that the builtin support for visibility detection does not work when browser is minimized but the tab was active... Would need to work-around somehow...

Also added a note for mozilla users about how to enable desktop notifications...

Hi - in this I would wish to have to have the Chantor window come into focus when I click on desktop notification, if any user sends a message.
But, this is on very low priority.

Few more additions to enhancements (low priority):

1. If user has not clicked on desktop notification, it should disappear after 5 seconds[Currently notification is not disappearing and is disturbing the work].
2. After 5 seconds and disappearance of notification, the chat window should start blinking, if not in focus, notifying user that he/she has not viewed the message received.
3. If any OR either of the user(s) are typing, it should be visible on the chat window, alike other instant messaging tools.

Based on the original issue statement, the issue has been fixed...

I've also fixed the following:

Lets raise a separate enhancement request for:
2. After 5 seconds and disappearance of notification, the chat window should start blinking, if not in focus, notifying user that he/she has not viewed the message received.

I need to evaluate its feasibility...

I've already raised one for:
