[Bug 1592382] [NEW] Updates are notified even when they are installed automatically

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

Public bug reported:

HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1. Go to the "Software & Updates" application.
2. Go to the "Updates" tab.
3. Set the "automatically check for updates" option to "daily".
4. Set the "when there are security updates" option to "download and install automatically".
5. Set the "when there are other updates" option to "display weekly".

RESULT:
In a day there will be a bubble notification telling you there are important updates ready to be installed, but those are set to be installed automatically and the Update Manager won't show up.

RELEVANT DETAILS:
- The bubble can show up multiple times during the same user session.
- The bubble seems to belong to gnome-software, where the Software Updater should be the only application asking the user to upgrade.
