A combination of 2 and 3 might be useful -- add a .desktop key which apps can set, and if an app doesn't set this key and then does show its first notification, the user is prompted. So app developers are encouraged to set the key (so avoid their users being prompted for whether showing notifications is allowed), but forgetting still maintains the principle that embarrassing apps will not show a first notification unprompted.
(I expect that some part of the documentation/askubuntu question ought to be a prominent search engine hit for the search "why does my app ask for permission to show notifications" or similar, too.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.
