Feature Description

I’m proposing that Gitea add a new event type for webhooks for when the user receives a notification of any kind.

Gitea already allows setting webhooks for events on any of a user’s owned repositories, but this isn’t quite the same as user notifications. This distinction is important particularly for 3rd party clients. Normally, more specific event types are desired, but in the case of a client where notifications are meant to be shown to the user, it should provide the same events as the /notifications endpoint lists so that it behaves identically as on the website.

If there was a way to configure a webhook to send an event whenever actual user notifications are received, it would allow for instant notifications in mobile apps without needing to do any polling (And if this webhook could be added using a token, it would be completely seamless)

Add a +1 for OA connection. With such webhooks we can easily build bots to push user notifications directly to the user via a controlled IM.
