Description

## **What problem are you trying to solve?**

I'm buying HEX now. Metamask works fine, but I don't. Every time I click on the buy button on the website, it goes into "pending" forever until I remember that Metamask has to approve the transaction. The only clue is a very tiny "1" that appears on the very tiny Metamask icon in my add-ons tray. If I had the add-ons tray minimized, I wouldn't even see that.
The last couple of times I've used it, the "1" doesn't even appear. I just need to know to click on the Metamask icon.

## **Describe the solution you'd like**

I would really like an option for Metamask to pop-up a normal (big) system notification reminding me that I need to do something.
In any case, I would like some obvious visual cue that an action is required.

## **Additional context**

I am using Metamask with Vivaldi 2.10.x on kubuntu 18.04 (KDE).

Research direction

The report names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the code that leaves a website buy action pending. Define the optional system notification and the requested obvious visual cue, then verify that both communicate when MetaMask approval is required.
