  • Assuming Chrome browser let through the dirty deed, go to: Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Content settings -> Notifications. You are presented with a whitelist and blacklist around OS/desktop notifications. On the whitelist you'll see one of an infinite number of spammy 3rd party content provider that you clicked "Allow" on when prompted. Remove everything from the whitelist, and if the problem goes away, it was one of those.

I'm running 16.40. My default browser is Firefox. I found it in settings under privacy -> notifications where it was allowing web-push notifications from certain websites that I must have agreed to have received notifications from, not knowing that they could push them through even though the sites pages aren't loaded. (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/push-notifications-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct).

    I am looking a history tool for notification. And see your question here,
    you can find a history from "recent-notification" applet. And a debug command helps you to find more details:



    $ dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'" |
    grep --line-buffered "member=Notify|string"

      By clicking on them, the default browser (Chrome) opens; as @DK Bose suggested, this implies that it is a browser notification.
