Properties

Static properties

These properties are available only on the Notification object itself.

Notification.permission Read only

A string representing the current permission to display notifications. Possible value are: denied (the user refuses to have notifications displayed), granted (the user accepts having notifications displayed), or default (the user choice is unknown and therefore the browser will act as if the value were denied).

Instance properties

These properties are available only on instances of the Notification object.

Notification.title Read only

The title of the notification as specified in the options parameter of the constructor.

Notification.dir Read only

The text direction of the notification as specified in the options parameter of the constructor.

Notification.lang Read only

The language code of the notification as specified in the options parameter of the constructor.

Notification.body Read only

The body string of the notification as specified in the options parameter of the constructor.

Notification.tag Read only

The ID of the notification (if any) as specified in the options parameter of the constructor.

Notification.icon Read only

The URL of the image used as an icon of the notification as specified in the options parameter of the constructor.

Notification.data Read only

Returns a structured clone of the notification’s data.

Event handlers

Notification.onclick

A handler for the click event. It is triggered each time the user clicks on the notification.

Notification.onshow

A handler for the show event. It is triggered when the notification is displayed.

Notification.onerror

A handler for the error event. It is triggered each time the notification encounters an error.

Notification.onclose

A handler for the close event. It is triggered when the user closes the notification.

Methods

Static methods

These methods are available only on the Notification object itself.

Notification.requestPermission()

Requests permission from the user to display notifications. This method must be called as the result of a user action (for example, an onclick event), and cannot be used without it.

Instance methods

These properties are available only on an instance of the Notification object or through its prototype. The Notification objects also inherit from the EventTarget interface.

Notification.close()

Programmatically closes a notification.

EventTarget.addEventListener()

Register an event handler of a specific event type on the EventTarget.

EventTarget.removeEventListener()

Removes an event listener from the EventTarget.

EventTarget.dispatchEvent()

Dispatch an event to this EventTarget.

Example

Assume this basic HTML:

<button onclick="notifyMe()">Notify me!</button>

It's possible to send a notification as follows:

function notifyMe() {
  // Let's check if the browser supports notifications
  if (!("Notification" in window)) {
    alert("This browser does not support desktop notification");
  }

  // Let's check whether notification permissions have alredy been granted
  else if (Notification.permission === "granted") {
    // If it's okay let's create a notification
    var notification = new Notification("Hi there!");
  }

  // Otherwise, we need to ask the user for permission
  else if (Notification.permission !== 'denied') {
    Notification.requestPermission(function (permission) {
      // If the user accepts, let's create a notification
      if (permission === "granted") {
        var notification = new Notification("Hi there!");
      }
    });
  }

  // At last, if the user has denied notifications, and you 
  // want to be respectful there is no need to bother them any more.
}

Specifications

Browser compatibility

Gecko notes

• Prior to Firefox 22 (Firefox OS <1.2), the instantiation of a new notification must be done with the navigator.mozNotification object through its createNotification method.
• Prior to Firefox 22 (Firefox OS <1.2), the Notification was displayed when calling the show method and was supporting the click and close events only.
• Nick Desaulniers has written a Notification shim to cover both newer and older implementations.
• One particular Firefox OS issue is that you can pass a path to an icon to use in the notification, but if the app is packaged you cannot use a relative path like /my_icon.png. You also can't use window.location.origin + "/my_icon.png" because window.location.origin is null in packaged apps. The manifest origin field fixes this, but it is only available in Firefox OS 1.1+. A potential solution for supporting Firefox OS <1.1 is to pass an absolute URL to an externally hosted version of the icon. This is less than ideal as the notification is displayed immediately with the icon missing, then the icon is fetched, but it works on all versions of Firefox OS.

Chrome notes

• Prior to Chrome 22, the support for notification was following an old prefixed version of the specification and was using the navigator.webkitNotifications object to instantiate a new notification.
• Prior to Chrome 32, Notification.permission was not supported.

Android notes

• The Android browser has been deprecated since Android 4.0. Newer versions use Chrome.

Safari notes

• Safari started supporting notification with Safari 6 but only on Mac OSX 10.8+ (Mountain Lion).

Notes

^[1] Deprecated since Android 4.0.
