Summary

Especially when you're almost out of juice you don't want to be wasting it blinking an icon causing excess repaints.
Also considering the critical percentage is hardcoded to 5% here and doesn't follow PowerDevil's setting.
Given battery critical notification is persistent and always on top of everything these days, you can't really miss the fact that you're almost ouf of power.

Test Plan
  • Fully charged: was hidden still
  • Not fully charged: was active now, never blinked, even when low

I investigate on it, but if you watch full screen video (Falkon) it does not appear on top, for some reason.

Works here. notify-send foo bar -u critical will show on top of everything.
