Public bug reported: The "System restart required" notification, which shows up after applying an update that flags /var/run/reboot-required, is not associated with any application. Thus, GNOME Shell falls back to showing the name of the process requesting the notification.
We should not be showing process names to the user. We should set the "desktop-entry" hint so that notification servers like GNOME Shell can show the notification as originating from an application with a name and icon. The notification comes from the `update-notifier` process, which is not an application in itself. We can claim that the originating application is `update-manager.desktop`, which makes sense for a notification asking to reboot after applying system updates.
