Related? Yes very much, but not a dup .. :-)

Well, there wasnt any discussion about this on the bug.

Let's dup that bug to this? ;-) 
No part of that bug's description mentions about denying SC from closing. All it says is about being able to close SC(which is what this bug is to avoid) and then displaying the notification when done. bug #528584 might depend on this one, but not necessarily.
Displaying the notification does not necessarily depend on decision to allow SC to close or not, but can be affected. We could choose to display a notification if SC is in a different workspace too. 
Or we could just decide notifications are annoying and close that bug, which will not solve this bug here.

Title:
  Should *not* be possible to quit SC while an action is In-Progress

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Steps to reproduce:
  1: Install/Remove an application from software center
  2: While the action is still "In-Progress" quit Software Center
  3: Software center happily quits.

  What happened was: I was installing an application and while it was
  taking time to download and install, i was browsing SC. After a while
  i forgot about the installation and just quit SC. On quitting I
  realized that i was installing an app and the app was not in the
  applications menu. When I opened SC again it showed the installation
  still as "In-Progress" (installation had not completed).

  While it is neat that SC did not quit installation and apt-daemon kept running, this is a unique behavior with SC. In all other applications all related processes quit once the main app quits. or atleast they inform that the app is still performing an action.
  And it is odd that starting an application shows as something already "In-progress"

  What should happen is either:
  - SC mentions that there is an action in-progress and prevent SC from quitting
  - SC mentions that there is an action in-progress and ask confirmation to switch to installation/removal in the background.
  - or atleast switch to a smaller in-progress window, apt-daemon's.
