Notifications to users despite not being in private group

[matthias-brun]

Issue #2165 was opened concerning this subject and the bug fixed in #2954.
Under certain circumstances the issue persists even after the fix. I tested this issue on master.

To reproduce use following steps:

1. Take three users:
   • UserA (Admin)
   • UserB (Not Admin)
   • UserC (Not Admin)
2. UserB opens a private group, which only he is a member of.
3. UserB sends the message "@usera @userC this is a test"
4. UserA receives a desktop notification informing him of the message sent by UserB in the private group. UserC does not receive a notification.

In more general terms, if someone sends a message mentioning several users, one of which is an admin, then exactly one of the other users will receive a notification. (It's not necessarily the admin receiving the notification)
Note: This doesn't work if the admin being mentioned is the person sending the message.
