 /// Starting from 0.8, if the provided app_name is NULL, libnotify will try to figure it out from the running application. Before it was not allowed, and was causing libnotify not to be initialized.

+/// ```
+/// use libnotify_rs::api::{
+///     functions::init,
+///     notification:: Notification,
+/// };
+///
+/// fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {

+///     let notification = Notification::new("Test", None, None)?; // Some libnotify call
+///     Ok(())
+/// }

 /// # Errors
 /// This function can return LibnotifyError::{InitError, NulError}
