Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. I receive a new message and a desktop notification is displayed
2. I open the app via the dock icon (not via the notification)
3. I read the message
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
I'd expect that the app tracks the relation between message a notification and withdraws/closes the notification related to the message once the message is read. (Apparently, Gnome uses the Freedesktop Notifications specification, which supports closing notifications.)
#### What happened instead?
The desktop notification persists. Desktop notifications accumulate over time and the unread message count badge at the dock icon shows a false indication for unread messages.
### Operating system
Ubuntu 25.04 / Gnome
### Application version
Element version: 1.11.101
### How did you install the app?
via apt package manager
### Homeserver
_No response_
### Will you send logs?
No
