A combination of 2 and 3 might be useful -- add a .desktop key which apps can set, and if an app doesn't set this key and then does show its first notification, the user is prompted. So app developers are encouraged to set the key (so avoid their users being prompted for whether showing notifications is allowed), but forgetting still maintains the principle that embarrassing apps will not show a first notification unprompted.
