gulp-notify: task completes only after notification disappears (Win7/8)

[rulkens]

When I add gulp-notify to a task, it only completes after the notification has been clicked away or disappears after timeout. This means that tasks take a lot longer to complete when using gulp-notify and it makes it practically useless. A task that takes 500ms to complete suddenly takes 5500ms. This is especially cumbersome when running tasks in sequence.

It would be great if the notification were non-blocking, so the task can complete while the notification is still shown.
