an image shows the 2 popups

SUMMARY
When i force stop the android client while it's paired and the re-launching it again, it starts to send every new notification twice

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair an android device using KDE Connect
2. Force stop the android client
3. Launch it again
4. Send a notification to yourself

OBSERVED RESULT
The notification appears on the other peer twice

EXPECTED RESULT
The notification appear on the other peer once

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22
Qt Version: 6.10.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This shouldn't happen as Plasma refuses to show 2 notifications with the same exact content, but for some reason it shows them, the 2 popups have the same id, also the second one doesn't have an icon which is expected

> If it's an update, the other end should have the icon already: no need to extract it and create the payload again
