Description
Describe the bug
Problem: when I am sending ETH to a payable function from a Smart Contract, I can see the amount but not the token symbol on the Confirm Tx screen.
I am expecting to see the token symbol in the same way as we do for Sends or Transfers. See example:

Steps to reproduce
- Go to Remix
- Deploy a contract
- Include a value on the Value field
- Call a Smart Contract function
- See MetaMask notification

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the flow from Remix by deploying the linked Solidity contract, sending ETH to its payable function, and opening the MetaMask Confirm Tx screen. Done means the confirmation displays the ETH token symbol alongside the amount, as it does for sends or transfers.
