Interesting. Though if we don't need an event for .close() being
called, I suspect we won't need one for a notification being replace.
It seems somewhat rare that either of these things would provide
significant use to the app if the notification is going away soon
anyway.

Also, BroadcastChannel was created to allow people to handle these
types of things themselves if needed. So we're not leaving people
without a workaround if for some reason there is a use case here.
