There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note that setting to 1 ("normal") gives us (approximately) 5 seconds on my device. I think I still prefer the behavior of critical, but if we don't like that option, "normal" would still be a behavior improvement for us.

Per https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification/latest-single/#urgency-levels:
On multiple versions of Ubuntu for me, notifications auto-close incredibly quickly, ignoring our
expire_timeoutvalue. Therefore, I am updating to set the urgency for notifications for "critical", which will give us the behavior that we want: the notification does not go away until the user dismisses it.
