    <resources>
        <resource id="Magento_Backend::admin">
            <resource id="Magento_Backend::stores">
                <resource id="Magento_Backend::stores_settings">
                    <resource id="Magento_Config::config">
                        <resource id="Lukas_DeliveryNotification::lukas_deliveryNotification" title="Delivery Notification" />
                    </resource>
                </resource>
            </resource>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</acl>

But it does not get added, what is the problem?

First, verify your system.xml file is in etc/adminhtml folder

Second, notice resource parameter is missing in your code (not sure, if it's really required, but it seems so). Take a look at this references

Conclusion

I've solved this and there were a couple of confusing aspects. Some of the XML tag names were incorrect and the module reference too was invalid.

In case someone else gets the same issue, I will wrap this up.

app/etc/modules/Myvendor_Mymodule.xml contains:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
