I would avoid creating a new object for displaying stuff. We have HTML
which hopefully should be powerful enough ;)

Instead maybe add an API for creating a notification based on a html
string, or a node.

Also, I assume that these are different toasters from whatever UI is
used to ask for permission to install a persistent worker? You
definitely don't want to allow rich content in those.
