feat(electron-updater): Enhance download notification settings

[Ashp116]

Description

This PR introduces more options checkForUpdatesAndNotify method in electron-updater to provide more flexible download notification.

Changes

• The downloadNotification parameter now accepts:
  • Notification - A custom Electron Notification instance
  • DownloadNotification - The existing notification configuration object
  • false - Explicitly disables notifications
• Improved type safety: Added proper TypeScript typing and import for Electron's Notification class

Use Cases

Disable notifications

autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify(false)

Custom Electron Notification

const customNotification = new Notification({
  title: 'New Update',
  body: 'Click to install {version}',
  icon: '/path/to/custom-icon.png'
})
autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify(customNotification)

Default DownloadNotification

autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify({
  title: 'Update Available',
  body: 'Version {version} is ready to install'
})

Hello @mmaietta,

I am failing some of these checks, and I am not sure how to fix them. Could you assist me in resolving them?

Getting back from vacation and revisiting this now.

Hello @mmaietta,

I changed the import for electron, but I'm not sure if it passes the failed workflows. The current workflows that are passing are fewer than the ones I had previously.

Hello @mmaietta,

I have updated the code to reflect the feedback. Actually I do agree that the boolean was redundant.

Closing and reopening in #9472 so that I can make edits
