Description
### Describe the bug
1. Notifications appear only within the MetaMask tab or popup, but not on the MM badge - not sure if that's expected.
2. When a user toggles any of the notification settings on and off, there seems to be a pause in notification delivery. Notifications resume once the user navigates to Notifications -> Settings, they then appear exclusively within the MetaMask tab or popup.
### Expected behavior

### Steps to reproduce
1. Go to Notifications -> Settings, disable / enbale any of the toggles for Chrome (for Firefox you don't need to ON/OFF toggles, notifications do not show up after enabling them)
2. Send a transaction (-s)
3. Notification doesn't appear
4. Go back to Notifications -> Settings
5. Notifications for the sent transactions displayed

Start by reproducing the Chrome and Firefox steps in Notifications → Settings, including sending a transaction after changing notification toggles. Compare badge delivery with notifications shown in the MetaMask tab or popup, and consider the issue resolved when notifications appear without reopening Settings after a toggle change.
