So that's the daemon you use and you can tailor your needs to that

Probably like the KDE notification daemon that I could never get working 
with a lot of things including the icon (I seem to recall it was 
something similar about the icon needing to be converted to a string.

Not likely, it is a user desktop preference. 😷 For example, I've tried:

https://github.com/Toqozz/wired-notify

https://github.com/emersion/mako (Wayland, bluh)

https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst

the ugly KDE default

and others

each has their own way of doing things, some dont even use the 
org.freedesktop dbus thingo (which really is just an interface 
specification suggestion)

anyway, best of

b

p.s. Voutts post just arrived with his suggestion to use libgio calls, 
may help
