Feedback from Treehouse: Real bug. 

Hi Chris,

Thank you for writing and sharing this with us! 
Via your specific information, I've tested and  
reproduced the notification bug and shared
it with our developers. They'll be looking into
it as soon as possible. Congrats on your new 
Exterminator Badge! Let us know if we can do 
anything else for you.

Best,
Jay
