Frequently Asked Questions
Browser notifications (also called Web Push Notifications) are clickable pop-up messages that websites can send to your device even when you're not actively browsing that site. They use the Notification API combined with the Push API and Service Workers to deliver real-time alerts. Notifications require HTTPS and explicit user permission before they can be shown.
This can happen for several reasons: (1) Your browser may have inherited a global block setting. (2) An extension or privacy tool is blocking notifications. (3) On mobile, you may have dismissed the permission prompt previously (some browsers treat dismissal as denial). (4) Your device's system-level "Do Not Disturb" or notification settings may interfere. Check both browser-level and OS-level notification settings.
To reset permissions: Chrome/Edge: Click the lock icon → Site Settings → Reset Permissions. Firefox: Click the permissions icon → Clear the status for notifications, then reload the page. Safari: Safari → Settings → Websites → Notifications → Remove the site from the list. After resetting, reload the page and a fresh permission prompt will appear.
Yes, but with limitations. Android Chrome & Firefox fully support web notifications including push. Safari on iOS supports the Notification API starting from iOS 16.4+ for web apps added to the home screen (PWAs). Regular Safari tabs on iOS do not support web notifications. Always check the specific browser and OS version compatibility.
Yes! When you click "Send Test Notification" and permission is granted, a real browser notification will be dispatched. It will appear in your system's notification center/tray. This helps you verify that notifications are fully functional, including correct display of title, body, icon, and any custom options your browser supports.
Browser security policies require that notification permission requests are triggered by a user gesture (like a click). If you're using an older browser or have JavaScript disabled, the API won't work. Additionally, if the permission is already "denied," most browsers won't show the prompt again — users must manually change the setting in browser preferences. This tool must also be served over HTTPS or localhost for the API to function.
Default: The user has not made a choice yet. The browser will show a permission prompt when requested. Granted: The user clicked "Allow" and notifications can be sent at any time. Denied: The user clicked "Block" — no notifications can be shown, and the prompt won't appear again unless the user manually changes settings. Understanding these states is crucial for implementing a good UX around notification requests.
Quick Troubleshooting
Notifications not showing?

Check if your OS has "Focus Mode" or "Do Not Disturb" enabled. On Windows, check "Focus Assist." On macOS, check "Do Not Disturb" in Notification Center.

Permission prompt not appearing?

Ensure the site is loaded over HTTPS. The Notification API is restricted to secure contexts. Localhost is also treated as secure for development.

Incognito / Private Mode?

Chrome blocks notifications in Incognito mode by default. Firefox Private Browsing also restricts persistent permissions.

Browser Extensions Conflict?

Ad blockers, privacy extensions, or antivirus browser plugins may block notification prompts. Try disabling them temporarily.
