Notifications sometimes have no content, saying just Element X Notification

[dkasak]

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure how to reproduce this but it occurs on a daily basis for me. Tapping on such a notification open EXA but doesn't seem to lead to a particular message.

Outcome

Expected: The notification should have some content.

After a discussion with the EXA team, I learned this can happen when we're unable to decrypt a message referenced by a push notification. I proposed a theory that this could happen if a notification is received before we receive the message key for a particular message. The message key might arrive only a short while after but we never retry decryption in this case, making this a possible race.

The above is unconfirmed but if true, a possible fix would be to retry decryption after a short delay if the first decryption attempt fails.
