There is something that needs to be addressed.  The app window was 
already running, as the user wants to get notified if there is something 
"new/update" from it, not that it was now running as it was already running.

Yet, the notifications says $WINDOW_TITLE is ready. I think this is okay 
if it was the first time the application runs on the Shell, or am I 
missing something again?
For Web mail applications, like in Zimbra, the title bar will change 
interactively to: "New Message" and "Zimbra: Inbox" if you receive a new 
email, this will not cause a problem when the browser where the Zimbra 
tab was located was the current focused. But when the browser was at the 
bottom, I don't know how the notification works as there is no task bar 
in GNOME Shell. Web apps are also important nowadays.
