web-push

I've been reading through the docs for Chrome's implementation of the Web Push API here , and I noticed the API says "you promise to show a notification whenever you receive a push" and under limitations it's stated "you have to show a notification when you receive a push message". After implementing the example on my localhost, I used cURL to send a push notification successfully. I was curious, so I commented out the lines that actually call the showNotification function, and put in a console.log instead and found that I could, in fact, send, receive, and totally ignore a push notification.

I am currently working on service worker to handle push notification in browser. Currently I am having this "SW registration failed error". Can anyone help with this issue? Check client1.html and service-worker.js file below: ERROR: SW registration failed with error SecurityError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker: The URL protocol of the current origin ('null') is not supported. service-worker.js console.log('Started', self); self.addEventListener('install', function(event) { self.skipWaiting(); console.log('Installed', event); }); self.addEventListener('activate', function(event) { console

I am wondering if I can use web push notifications to update a web page without displaying a notification for the user to interact with. Essentially I want to refresh data after an event on the server. If this is possible, is it still necessary to receive permission from the user to send these push updates?

You can experiment a bit with the quotas in different browers using the Push Quota

Is there any suggestion ? Satyajit Dey Generally as soon as you receive a push message from GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) you have to show a push notification in the browser. This is mentioned on

I managed to run a working example for sending web-push notifications - subscribe user for push notifications, get the endpoint, generate the two browser keys from the subscription object - p256dh and auth . On the server side I generate the VAPID keys. So, with all these I call sendNotification on the web-push Node.js package, and also - I'm passing a payload. On Firefox - I get the notification with the payload. On Chrome and Opera I get WebPushError: Received unexpected response code and furthermore - UnauthorizedRegistration and Error 400 . The server side code I'm using to send the stuff
