[Bug 528584] Re: show notification when software is installed if software center is closed before installation finishes

 

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
- 
  If a user closes the software-center interface while operations are
  still in progress, a notification should be shown when all operations
  are completed.
  
  However, if the window has not been closed, a notification is not needed
  and should not be shown.
  
  Installing:
-  * single package: Show "[Title]<Package name> has finished installing[body]Launch it from the Application > <Category> menu" with the software-center icon, or possibly the application's icon. I think that the software-center icon would be useful in helping the user understand where the notification is coming from, but the application icon may also be useful. This should be discussed before implementation

  Removal doesn't really need notifications because once software is
  removed, you don't need to interact with it so you won't be waiting for
  any process to complete.
