[Bug] Extensions can no longer create notifications

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

The API call below no longer shows a notification in Firefox Nightly 200911 14:03.

Extension notifications on Android worked up to Firefox 78. In Firefox 79 and 80 the API call crashes the browser. This crash was recently fixed, but the end result is that notifications are no longer shown.

browser.notifications.create({type: 'basic', title: 'Title', message: 'Message.'});

Device information

Android device: Android 9

@jonalmeida, notifications do not show up at all, nothing happens when the API is called. The browser.notifications API only worked up to Firefox 78.

@kbrosnan no, we do notify AC of the notification through the WebNotificationDelegate::onShowNotification API (there’s a test for this in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D88165), this is likely a bug in AC/Fenix.
