Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
Today gmail/chromium told me I can get desktop notifications on new emails, which is a great feature. Unfortunately the notifications don't use the Ubuntu notifications APIs (libnotify?) and seem out of place.
There was apparently some discussion on the Ayatana mailing list, but there didn't seem to be a conclusion. I think chromium on Ubuntu should use the existing infrastructure even if that results in some loss of features (HTML and interactivity) compared to other platforms.

If there are good answers to the questions asked there, upstream would like to work with Ubuntu notifications too.
