It seems that it triggers sometimes for some applications, and not for 
others. From me as a user point of view, it is quite random if i am 
going to get a notification that i have to click on or not. Is there any 
pattern or reason as to when the notification shows up?

For example, i am getting it with geary when i click on the notification 
telling me that a have gotten a new email, then i have to click the 
"geary is ready" notification.
