By default, all newly created C# classes in Unity are descended from class MonoBehaviour ,
which is part of the Unity API. See Listing 3-5 to see the autogenerated code. In essence,
MonoBehaviour represents the base class from which all components are ultimately derived. For the
NotificationsManager, and indeed for many classes, MonoBehaviour is an entirely suitable default
class from which to derive, and so can be left as-is. In some cases, however, as we'll see later, we'll
need to change the super-class to a different type.
