Take a look at needrestart.
Thanks, I will. Does it automatically restart the daemons or do I have to use needrestart manually (in terminal) in order to make it happen?

Which "apps"? How do they "misbehave"?
The latest example since 2 days ago are Chrome and the panel in Cinnamon. After glibc updated, Chrome began freezing at random points of usage, wouldn't minimize if maximized (and vice versa), the panel of Cinnamon disappeared and then reappeared and after that it simply froze, only the menu app was working. I restarted the computer and everything went back to normal.
Sometimes, but not always, an update of several python packages causes the same or similar problems which is why I could use any available way to be notified when a package updates and it requires system reboot.

The fact that a reboot is sufficient to resolves these unspecified problems does not mean it is necessary. Reinstalling your entire OS would also solve the issues - but (hopefully) obviously, that is also not necessary.
]]>glibc, systemd, linux and nvidia are packages that require a system reboot...
That statement is only true for the kernel.
