Description
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]
Desktop notifications from Linux apps don't appear in Windows, it would be nice if this could work.
Example test:
$ sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin
$ notify-send "TEST"
Feature request is to have the notification interface to allow the action center to receive notifications.

Start by reproducing the example with libnotify-bin and notify-send on Windows 10, then trace how the WSL notification interface handles Linux app notifications. The work is done when a notification from a Linux app appears in the Windows Action Center with the expected content.
