Share a Google Drive file without sending email notifications

Question

I am using the Google Drive API. I need to copy a file from one Google domain to another, so my approach is as follows:

• authenticate with the source domain service account
• share a file with a user in the target domain
• authenticate with the target domain service account and impersonate the user
• copy the source file from the source domain to the target domain
• remove sharing permission from source file

Everything works as expected, except that I do not want the recipient owner to receive a Google Drive email notifying him of the shared file. When the file is shared via the web interface, you can turn off the email notification, so I assume it is also possible through the API, the question is, how ^^ Any?

PS: I am open to new “less tedious” methods for creating a copy of a file from one domain to another, if possible.
