Windows notification support was added to Electron in v0.35. To make notifications work on Windows 8/8.1, you need to add a shortcut to the start screen that contains the same AppUserModelID as the one you set in your app using app.setAppUserModelId(id).
NSIS apparently supports setting AppUserModelID:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ApplicationID_plug-in

It would be awesome if we support that, so people can actually use the notification support on Windows 8/8.1.

@develar Would I be correct in assuming that this hasn't been implemented and that native notifications will not work for Windows 8/8.1?

@McPo Implemented for NSIS. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/NSIS#guid-vs-application-name

@develar My bad, I was foolishly setting the app.setAppUserModelId(id) to the UUIDv5 as opposed to the appId. It also wasn't clear to me that the stated paragraph referenced the AUMID, Ive submitted a pull request to make it more apparent #1007.

Thanks for the great work, it really is an excellent piece of kit.
