web notifications not working - html

I'm tring to use the web notifications API like in this example:
http://www.inserthtml.com/2013/10/notification-api/?utm_source=html5weekly&utm_medium=email
When i'm in this website, everything is working great, in the console i'm writing "Notification.permission" and gets "granted".
But if i'm trying to do the same in my website, i'm getting error about the Notification object and when i'm trying to print "Notification.permission" i've noticed that the Notification object doesn't have this property and other properties like "requestPermition".
This happening in all the browsers and they all updated to the last version.
i've tried to open console in other websites, like cnn.com for example, and inspect the Notifications object, and also there are missing properties.
Any idea why?? and how its working the website above??
thanks.
this is my code:
window.addEventListener('load', function(){
var button = document.getElementById( "notifications" );
function theNotification() {
var n = new Notification("Hi!", {
});
}
// When the button is clicked
button.addEventListener('click', function () {
// If they are not denied (i.e. default)
if (Notification && Notification.permission !== "denied") {
// Request permission
Notification.requestPermission( function( status ){
// Change based on user's decision
if (Notification.permission !== status)
Notification.permission = status;
});
}
});
$(button).click();
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:3000', {query : "user=343"});
socket.on('notification', function (data) {
console.log( data );
if (Notification && Notification.permission === "granted") {
theNotification();
} else {
alert(data);
}
});
});

Transform Google apps script webapp into progressive wa

i want to get more accessible my webabb deployed on Google Apps Script.
I tried to do this adding an embedded manifest:
<link rel="manifest" href='data:application/manifest+json,
{
"name":"SharePoint Title",
"short_name":"SP Title",
"description":"description",
"start_url":"get_script_url",
"icons":[
{
"src":"icon_url",
"sizes":"144x144","type":"image/png"
}
],
"background":"rgb(255,0,0)",
"theme_color":"rgb(255,255,255)",
"display":"fullscreen"
}'>
and this js code (as shown in https://developer.mozilla.org/:
let deferredPrompt;
const addBtn = document.querySelector('.add-button');
addBtn.style.display = 'none';
window.addEventListener('beforeinstallprompt', (e) => {
// Prevent Chrome 67 and earlier from automatically showing the prompt
e.preventDefault();
// Stash the event so it can be triggered later.
deferredPrompt = e;
// Update UI to notify the user they can add to home screen
addBtn.style.display = 'block';
addBtn.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
// hide our user interface that shows our A2HS button
addBtn.style.display = 'none';
// Show the prompt
deferredPrompt.prompt();
// Wait for the user to respond to the prompt
deferredPrompt.userChoice.then((choiceResult) => {
if (choiceResult.outcome === 'accepted') {
console.log('User accepted the A2HS prompt');
} else {
console.log('User dismissed the A2HS prompt');
}
deferredPrompt = null;
});
});
});
But when I can't load the page from any mobile device: Google returns an error.
Does somebody know how could I solve the problem?
Thanks a lot

gcm push notification: not showing actual message reopen the browser

Gcm push notification message is sending properly to endpoints when browser is open :Notification messages which are in json file.
serviceWorker.js
'use strict';
self.addEventListener('install', function(event) {
self.skipWaiting();
console.log('Installed', event);
});
self.addEventListener('activate', function(event) {
console.log('Activated', event);
});
self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {
console.log('Started', self);
self.addEventListener('install', function(event) {
self.skipWaiting();
});
self.addEventListener('activate', function(event) {
console.log('Activated', event);

var url = "http://localhost/pntest/gmpush1.json?param="+Math.random();
event.waitUntil(
fetch(url).then(function(response) {
if (response.status !== 200) {
console.log('Problem. Status Code: ' + response.status);
throw new Error();
}
// Examine the text in the response
return response.json().then(function(data) {

throw new Error();
}
var promises = [];
for(var i=0; data.notification && i < data.notification.length; i++) {
promises.push(self.registration.showNotification(data.notification[i].title, {
body: data.notification[i].body,
'renotify': true,

//tag: notification.tag

}
return Promise.all( promises );

gcmpush1.json
{"notification": [{"body": "Test data", "url": "https://www.google.com/", "icon": "http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/google-logo-1200x630.jpg", "title": "Test Notification"}]}
When browser is open, It's showing original message
Test Notification
If client browser is in offline(not opened) while my curl trigger. When reopening the client browser i suppose to get original message but what i'm getting is
site has been updated in the background
In my curl call, I have used 'time_to_live' = 2419200.
Whenever notification failed to load data to show on chrome notification window and 'PUSH' event generate successfully. It will show "site has been updated in the background". (Nothing to do with notification delivery from Curl. it may be fine)
Couple of observations from you service worker code:
1). You are using localhost path to fetch data, will create problem to load notification data while localhost will be offline.
var url = "http://localhost/pntest/gmpush1.json?param="+Math.random();
2). You are using two 'PUSH' event code in your SW. can wrap work in one function.
self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {...
You can refer below URL for creating simple service worker to get dynamic data for push notification.

How can I specify time limit to a chrome push notification

I used Service Worker to send Push Notifications to chrome browser.
I used below code to receive notification from server
var url = "path/to/your/json/file/json-data.php?param="+Math.random();
self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {
event.waitUntil(
fetch(url).then(function(response) {
if (response.status !== 200) {
// Either show a message to the user explaining the error
// or enter a generic message and handle the
// onnotificationclick event to direct the user to a web page
console.log('Looks like there was a problem. Status Code: ' + response.status);
throw new Error();
}
// Examine the text in the response
return response.json().then(function(data) {
if (data.error || !data.notification) {
console.log('The API returned an error.', data.error);
throw new Error();
}
var title = data.notification.title;
var message = data.notification.message;
var icon = data.notification.icon;
return self.registration.showNotification(title, {
body: message,
icon: icon,
data: {
url: data.notification.url
}
});
});
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log('Unable to retrieve data', err);
var title = 'An error occurred';
var message = 'We were unable to get the information for this push message';
var icon = 'img/design19.jpg';
var notificationTag = 'notification-error';
return self.registration.showNotification(title, {
body: message,
icon: icon,
tag: notificationTag
});
})
);
});
// The user has clicked on the notification ...
self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function(event) {
console.log(event.notification.data.url);
// Android doesn't close the notification when you click on it
// See: http://crbug.com/463146
event.notification.close();
// This looks to see if the current is already open and
// focuses if it is
event.waitUntil(
clients.matchAll({
type: "window"
})
.then(function(clientList) {
for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; i++) {
var client = clientList[i];
if (client.url == '/' && 'focus' in client)
return client.focus();
}
if (clients.openWindow) {
return clients.openWindow(event.notification.data.url);
}
})
);
});
Notification is displaying but it is closing after a few seconds. I don't need to close the notification. The user explicitly closes the notification. Tell me the code to stop closing the notification. Once the notification is displayed it is not closing forever. User explicitly close the notification
return self.registration.showNotification(title, {
body: message,
icon: icon,
tag: notificationTag
});
You can add requireInteraction: true to the notification porperties dictionary. This will make it stay on screen. Note that this is not guaranteed to work in all platforms but today at least it works ok in chrome desktop.

serviceworkers focus tab: clients is empty on notificationclick

I have a common serviceworker escenario, where I want catch a notification click and focus the tab where the notification has come from. However, clients variable is always empty, its lenght is 0
console.log("sw startup");
self.addEventListener('install', function (event) {
console.log("SW installed");
});
self.addEventListener('activate', function (event) {
console.log("SW activated");
});
self.addEventListener("notificationclick", function (e) {
// Android doesn't automatically close notifications on click
console.log(e);
e.notification.close();
// Focus tab if open
e.waitUntil(clients.matchAll({
type: 'window'
}).then(function (clientList) {
console.log("clients:" + clientList.length);
for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; ++i) {
var client = clientList[i];
if (client.url === '/' && 'focus' in client) {
return client.focus();
}
}
if (clients.openWindow) {
return clients.openWindow('/');
}
}));
});
And the registration is this one:
this.doNotify = function (notification) {
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
navigator.serviceWorker.register('sw.js').then(function (reg) {
requestCreateNotification(notification, reg);
}, function (err) {
console.log('sw reg error:' + err);
});
}
...
}
chrome://serviceworker-internals/ output shows that registration and installation are fine. However, when a notification is pushed, clientList is empty. I have tried removing the filter type:'window' but the result is still the same. As clients are empty, a new window is always opened. What am I doing wrong?
The suspicion in your own comment is correct. A page is controlled by a service worker on navigation to an origin that the service worker is registered for. So the original page load that actually initializes the service worker is not itself controlled. That's why the worker only finds your tab once you visit with a new tab or do a refresh.
However (as Jeff Posnick points out in the comments) you can get uncontrolled pages as follows: ServiceWorkerClients.matchAll({includeUncontrolled: true, type: 'window'}).
Try making the service worker immediately claim the page.
E.g.:
self.addEventListener('install', event => event.waitUntil(self.skipWaiting()));
self.addEventListener('activate', event => event.waitUntil(self.clients.claim()));
For a more complex example, see https://serviceworke.rs/immediate-claim.html.

Webkit Notifications on Multiple Tabs

I am using WebKit Notifications for my app. Say if I am using this code:
var n = window.webkitNotifications.createNotification(
'icon.png',
'New Comment',
'Praveen commented on your post!'
);
n.onclick = function(x) { window.focus(); this.cancel(); };
n.show();
PS 1: The first five lines are actually a single line. Just for readability I have posted this way.
PS 2: For the full code, please see this: Unable to show Desktop Notifications using Google Chrome.
My question is, what if I have more than one tab opened?
Say if this is gonna get fired when a new comment appears on my app. What if I have more than one tab open? Will this generate many notifications? Say, I have 10 - 15 tabs open and I get two notifications fired. How many notifications will be generated, 20 - 30?
If that is the case, how to prevent generation of a single notification multiple times for each opened tab?
You just need to specify "tag" option for notification. Notifications with the same value in tag only shows once even if many tabs are opened.
For example:
var notification = new Notification('Hey!', {
body : 'So nice to hear from you',
tag : 'greeting-notify',
icon : 'https://mysite.com/my_funny_icon.png'
});
A detailed explanation of Tagging notifications so only the last one appears is available
on the MDN docs site
An excerpt of the code [just in case the docs go down]
The HTML
<button>Notify me!</button>
The JS
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
// At first, let's check if we have permission for notification
// If not, let's ask for it
if (Notification && Notification.permission !== "granted") {
Notification.requestPermission(function (status) {
if (Notification.permission !== status) {
Notification.permission = status;
}
});
}
var button = document.getElementsByTagName('button')[0];
button.addEventListener('click', function () {
// If the user agreed to get notified
// Let's try to send ten notifications
if (Notification && Notification.permission === "granted") {
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// Thanks to the tag, we should only see the "Hi! 9" notification
var n = new Notification("Hi! " + i, {tag: 'soManyNotification'});
}
}
// If the user hasn't told if he wants to be notified or not
// Note: because of Chrome, we are not sure the permission property
// is set, therefore it's unsafe to check for the "default" value.
else if (Notification && Notification.permission !== "denied") {
Notification.requestPermission(function (status) {
if (Notification.permission !== status) {
Notification.permission = status;
}
// If the user said okay
if (status === "granted") {
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// Thanks to the tag, we should only see the "Hi! 9" notification
var n = new Notification("Hi! " + i, {tag: 'soManyNotification'});
}
}
// Otherwise, we can fallback to a regular modal alert
else {
alert("Hi!");
}
});
}
// If the user refuses to get notified
else {
// We can fallback to a regular modal alert
alert("Hi!");
}
});
});
