bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user should return additional objects

[shawfactor]

Right now the function bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user returns an array with content and href objects (along with the usual other objects for the notifcation).

This means the function is only really useful in the context of a buddypress theme. Yet ideally you would connect this function to a toast library or the web push api.

So I think adding (at the very least) adding the title and some of the options for the web push api, would make this function much more versatile and useful:

Why not! I'd like to see a patch about it. If someone builds a patch about it, I'll be happy to review it.

@shawfactor, I will be happy to implement this feature however can you please add some more details on this? So that I can start the implemantation. I will wait for your comment. 😊

Thanks

As playing with the Notifications API seems to require using JavaScript, I wonder if it would be a better idea to use the BP REST API instead and eventually add the missing information to the endpoint schema: ​https://developer.buddypress.org/bp-rest-api/reference/screen-notifications/#schema

I'm moving this ticket out of 12.0.0 milestone for now as I believe it needs more directions:

• What would be the title compared to the component action ? A summary of it ?
• What would be the options ? I see there are some possibilities in the link added to the ticket's description: badge, icon, lang, etc..
