Description

I use mpv as my media player and more specifically to play music. I have an mpv script set up to send a notification when the track changes, and it sets the app icon to the cover art of the new track.
With dunst, the app icon was always the cover art of the new track, but with DMS' notification daemon, the cover art is the same throughout notifications, unless I wait some time (I'd say ~30s) between notifications.

Expected Behavior

The notification should always reflect the right app icon.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play a music playlist in mpv with the mpv-notify script.
2. Change tracks in quick succession
3. Observe the app icon always being the same instead of properly reflecting the cover art of the track.

it makes sense for the notification icons to be cached (at least i'm assuming this is what's currently happening) for most applications, maybe a notification rule to turn this off would be nice.
