I'll add that since updating from 18.04 to 20.04, Pidgin has been doing this very consistently. Whenever I have Pidgin focused and then switch focus to another window, some time later, I get a notification saying:
Pidgin Internet Messenger "#foo" is ready where #foo is the name of the last chat tab I had focused with Pidgin. This "new" behavior is atrocious. I'm not sure what changed in Pidgin and/or Gnome, but this is a terrible user experience.

Say, I click on the open downloads folder button in Firefox and GNOME Shell gives me a notification saying "Application is ready" but doesn't open the notification. I'm totally expecting an app to open because I actively initiated it. As a workaround, I'm using a GNOME extensions "Focus my Window" which removes the "Application is ready" message and focuses the app window automatically. However, this cannot be treated as a solution.
