Bug description:
  
  Precise SRU info:

  [Impact]

   * The patch provide a fix to provide the "x-canonical-private-
  synchronous" to work with notifications different with
  LAYOUT_ICON_INDICATOR layout. Currently the "x-canonical-private-
  synchronous" interface only provide this layout to support brightness
  and volume control.

  [Test Case]

   * This patch make following command behave correctly.

  #notify-send -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:1 "wireless"
  "disable" -i notification-network-wireless-none ; sleep 1 ; notify-
  send -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:1 "bluetooth" "enable"
  -i bluetooth

  In current implementation,  both Summary and Body text didn't get
  updated.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The risk should be minimal, the patch should only affect "x
  -canonical-private-synchronous" interface. This interface is only used
  in brightness and volume hotkey, and layout is different.

   * The patch is already tested in OEM projects.

  [Other Info]

  *** Original bug description:

  When you send a notification in Synchronous with another, the both
  Summary and Body text doesn't get updated.

  As an example:

  while true; do
      notify-send "first title" "first subtitle" -i dialog-info -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:test
      sleep 1
      notify-send "second title" "second subtitle" -i dialog-error -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:test
      sleep 1
  done

  If you run the above, what you should see is the Icon changing, but the summary/body text staying the same.
  Is this expected behaviour from the libnotify library? Or is this an overlooked feature?

  Iain
