Event Listener for Web Notification

Question

Is there a way to set an event listener for a desktop notification?

document.addEventListener(\"desktop notification\", function(){
    // do something
});

@marekful is right. Instead of placing global event listeners, you may consider placing a callback or even attach an event on the Notification object.

var noticeMe = new Notification(title, options); 
noticeMe.onshow = function() { console.log("easy!") };

A full list of supported events may be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notification, Also here is an article I wrote a few months back about the Notification API

Take a look at

• Notification.onclick

  Notification.onclose

  Notification.onerror

  Notification.onshow
