Description of problem:
When gnome-software finds a firmware update, and you hit the update button, it is unclear whether the update succeeded, and also unclear that you need to reboot your machine to actually apply the update.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Preconditions:
1. Have a machine with non-up-to-date firmware. I had a Dell XPS 13 9370 with the factory firmware.
2. Fresh Fedora 28 installation on said machine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch gnome-software
2. Go to updates
3. Hit the refresh button
4. Wait for it until it displays an update (in this case a bios update)
5. Click the "Update" button next to the BIOS update

Actual results:
- The update disappears for a while. Then it appears again.
- There is no indication of success
- Also no indication that tells me I should reboot the machine now.

Expected results:
- The update should not appear again
- It should tell me that the update was successful
- It should tell me I need to reboot the machine to apply the bios update

Additional info:
None.
