Error with Angular 4 ngc compiler

See original GitHub issue

When trying to compile my project which uses this lib with ngc compiler for AOT the following error in thrown:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/jiayi/Desktop/Repo/angular-ui/dist/node_modules/angular2-notifications/src/notification.type.metadata.json'
    at Error (native)

    at Object.forEachEmittedFile (/Users/jiayi/Desktop/Repo/angular-ui/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:8986:17)

I’ve already checked this errors appears only with Angular 4 migration. If I go back to 2.4.8 everything is fine.

Personally I’ve seen that notification.type.metadata.json is missing in the package under node_modules, but honestly I can’t understand why ngc requires a metadata since it’s just an interface without any Angular specific code.
