Friends has sadly been purged from Ubuntu :/ I guess we can close this
for now.

Title:
  Social notifications only appear after mediaplayer is opened

Status in friends package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I only just put 2 and 2 together to figure this out. It's not
  technically a regression because it's been like this for a while, I
  just never realised.

  Flash mako with a recent release.
  Add some social network connections in System Settings -> Accounts
  (I setup twitter and facebook)
  Put some videos on the phone
  Reboot phone
  Wait until someone tweets at you or sends you fb messages.
  Observe you get no notification of those tweets
  Start watching a video on the phone.
  Notice that the tweets suddenly come through while the video plays

  Looks like the mediaplayer app has some social integration which
  forces friends to sign in? These should appear without me having to
  play a video or open "friends".

  e.g.
  Rebooted phone, tweet sent via desktop

  etc
  10:34: - no tweet notifications received on phone at all.
  10:51: - open media player - get spammed with tweets above and more dating back a couple of days.
