Another question on Web apps: Push notifications.

It seems like adding "push-notification-client" to the .apparmor file
doesn't make push notifications work in a WebApp. Is the documentation
on [1] only applicable for native apps?

Skype for Web sends desktop notifications (the website asks you for
permission in the beginning), and I'd love to provide push
notifications with the WebApp.

(I must confess, I've simply added the value to the .apparmor file and
restarted the WebApp (after clearing cache and configuration). I've
not tested reinstalling a .click package e.g. via the Ubuntu Store.)

Any hints greatly appreciated,
Peter
