Abstract

This standard defines an API to display notifications to the end user, typically outside the top-level browsing context’s viewport. It is designed to be compatible with existing notification systems, while remaining platform-independent.

1. Terminology

This specification depends on the Infra Standard. [INFRA]

Some terms used in this specification are defined in the DOM, Fetch, High Resolution Time, HTML, IDL, Service Workers, URL, and Vibration API Standards. [DOM] [FETCH] [HR-TIME] [HTML] [WEBIDL] [SERVICE-WORKERS] [URL] [VIBRATION]

2. Notifications

A notification is an abstract representation of something that happened, such as the delivery of a message.

A notification can have an associated service worker registration.

A notification has an associated title which is a DOMString.

A notification has an associated body which is a DOMString.

A notification has an associated direction which is one of auto, ltr, and rtl.

A notification has an associated language which is a DOMString representing either a valid BCP 47 language tag or the empty string.

A notification has an associated tag which is a DOMString.

A notification has an associated data.

A notification has an associated timestamp which is an EpochTimeStamp representing the time.

Timestamps can be used to indicate the time at which a notification is actual. For example, this could be in the past when a notification is used for a message that couldn’t immediately be delivered because the device was offline, or in the future for a meeting that is about to start.

A notification has an associated origin.

A notification has an associated renotify preference boolean, which is initially false. When true, indicates that the end user should be alerted after the show steps have run with a new notification that has the same tag as an existing notification.

A notification has an associated silent preference boolean or null, which is initially null. When true, indicates that no sounds or vibrations should be made. When null, indicates that producing sounds or vibrations should be left to platform conventions.

A notification has an associated require interaction preference boolean, which is initially false. When true, indicates that on devices with a sufficiently large screen, the notification should remain readily available until the user activates or dismisses the notification.

A notification can have these associated graphics: an image URL, icon URL, and badge URL; and their corresponding image resource, icon resource, and badge resource.

An image resource is a picture shown as part of the content of the notification, and should be displayed with higher visual priority than the icon resource and badge resource, though it may be displayed in fewer circumstances.

An icon resource is an image that reinforces the notification (such as an icon, or a photo of the sender).

A badge resource is an icon representing the web application, or the category of the notification if the web application sends a wide variety of notifications. It may be used to represent the notification when there is not enough space to display the notification itself. It may also be displayed inside the notification, but then it should have less visual priority than the image resource and icon resource.

A notification has an associated vibration pattern, which is initially « ».

Developers are encouraged to not convey information through an image, icon, badge, or vibration pattern that is not otherwise accessible to the end user, especially since notification platforms that do not support these features might ignore them.

A notification has an associated list of zero or more actions. Each action has an associated title and name and can have an associated icon URL and icon resource. Users may activate actions, as alternatives to activating the notification itself. The user agent must determine the maximum number of actions supported, within the constraints of the notification platform.

Since display of actions is platform-dependent, developers are encouraged to make sure that any action a user can invoke from a notification is also available within the web application.

Some platforms might modify an icon resource to better match the platform’s visual style before displaying it to the user, for example by rounding the corners or painting it in a specific color. Developers are encouraged to use an icon that handles such cases gracefully and does not lose important information through, e.g., loss of color or clipped corners.

A non-persistent notification is a notification without an associated service worker registration.

A persistent notification is a notification with an associated service worker registration.


To create a notification, given a string title, NotificationOptions dictionary options, environment settings object settings, and optionally a ServiceWorkerRegistration object serviceWorkerRegistration, run these steps:

  1. Let notification be a new notification.

  2. If a serviceWorkerRegistration was provided, then set notification’s service worker registration to serviceWorkerRegistration.

  3. If a serviceWorkerRegistration was not provided and options["actions"] is not empty, then throw a TypeError.

    Actions are only currently supported for persistent notifications.

  4. If options["silent"] is true and options["vibrate"] exists, then throw a TypeError.

  5. If options["renotify"] is true and options["tag"] is the empty string, then throw a TypeError.

  6. Set notification’s data to StructuredSerializeForStorage(options["data"]).

  7. Set notification’s title to title.

  8. Set notification’s direction to options["dir"].

  9. Set notification’s language to options["lang"].

  10. Set notification’s origin to settings’s origin.

  11. Set notification’s body to options["body"].

  12. Set notification’s tag to options["tag"].

  13. Let baseURL be settings’s API base URL.

  14. If options["image"] exists, then parse it using baseURL, and if that does not return failure, set notification’s image URL to the return value. (Otherwise image URL is not set.)

  15. If options["icon"] exists, then parse it using baseURL, and if that does not return failure, set notification’s icon URL to the return value. (Otherwise icon URL is not set.)

  16. If options["badge"] exists, then parse it using baseURL, and if that does not return failure, set notification’s badge URL to the return value. (Otherwise badge URL is not set.)

  17. If options["vibrate"] exists, then validate and normalize it and set notification’s vibration pattern to the return value.

  18. If options["timestamp"] exists, then set notification’s timestamp to the value. Otherwise, set notification’s timestamp to the number of milliseconds from the Unix epoch to settings’s current wall time, rounded to the nearest integer.

  19. Set notification’s renotify preference to options["renotify"].

  20. Set notification’s silent preference to options["silent"].

  21. Set notification’s require interaction preference to options["requireInteraction"].

  22. Set notification’s list of actions to an empty list, then for each entry in options["actions"], up to the maximum number of actions supported (skip any excess entries):

    1. Let action be a new action.

    2. Set action’s name to entry["action"].

    3. Set action’s title to entry["title"].

    4. If entry["icon"] exists, then parse it using baseURL, and if that does not return failure, set action’s icon URL to the return value. (Otherwise icon URL is not set.)

    5. Append action to notification’s list of actions.

  23. Return notification.

2.1. Lifetime and UI integration

The user agent must keep a list of notifications, which is a list of zero or more notifications.

User agents should run the close steps for a non-persistent notification a couple of seconds after they have been created.

User agents should not display non-persistent notification in a platform’s "notification center" (if available).

User agents should persist persistent notifications until they are removed from the list of notifications.

A persistent notification could have the close() method invoked of one of its Notification objects.

User agents should display persistent notifications in a platform’s "notification center" (if available).

2.2. Permissions integration

The Notifications API is a powerful feature which is identified by the name "notifications". [Permissions]

To get the notifications permission state, run these steps:

  1. Let permissionState be the result of getting the current permission state with "notifications".

  2. If permissionState is "prompt", then return "default".

  3. Return permissionState.

2.3. Direction

This section is written in terms equivalent to those used in the Rendering section of HTML. [HTML]

User agents are expected to honor the Unicode semantics of the text of a notification’s title, body, and the title of each of its actions. Each is expected to be treated as an independent set of one or more bidirectional algorithm paragraphs when displayed, as defined by the bidirectional algorithm’s rules P1, P2, and P3, including, for instance, supporting the paragraph-breaking behavior of U+000A LINE FEED (LF) characters. For each paragraph of the title, body and the title of each of the actions, the notification’s direction provides the higher-level override of rules P2 and P3 if it has a value other than "auto". [BIDI]

The notification’s direction also determines the relative order in which the notification’s actions should be displayed to the user, if the notification platform displays them side by side.

2.4. Language

The notification’s language specifies the primary language for the notification’s title, body and the title of each of its actions. Its value is a string. The empty string indicates that the primary language is unknown. Any other string must be interpreted as a language tag. Validity or well-formedness are not enforced. [BCP47]

Developers are encouraged to only use valid language tags.

2.5. Resources

The fetch steps for a given notification notification are:

  1. If the notification platform supports images, fetch notification’s image URL, if image URL is set.

    The intent is to fetch this resource similar to an <img>, but this needs abstracting.

    Then, in parallel:

    1. Wait for the response.

    2. If the response’s internal response’s type is "default", then attempt to decode the resource as image.

    3. If the image format is supported, set notification’s image resource to the decoded resource. (Otherwise notification has no image resource.)

  2. If the notification platform supports icons, fetch notification’s icon URL, if icon URL is set.

    The intent is to fetch this resource similar to an <img>, but this needs abstracting.

    Then, in parallel:

    1. Wait for the response.

    2. If the response’s internal response’s type is "default", then attempt to decode the resource as image.

    3. If the image format is supported, set notification’s icon resource to the decoded resource. (Otherwise notification has no icon resource.)

  3. If the notification platform supports badges, fetch notification’s badge URL, if badge URL is set.

    The intent is to fetch this resource similar to an <img>, but this needs abstracting.

    Then, in parallel:

    1. Wait for the response.

    2. If the response’s internal response’s type is "default", then attempt to decode the resource as image.

    3. If the image format is supported, set notification’s badge resource to the decoded resource. (Otherwise notification has no badge resource.)

  4. If the notification platform supports actions and action icons, then for each action in notification’s list of actions fetch action’s icon URL, if icon URL is set.

    The intent is to fetch this resource similar to an <img>, but this needs abstracting.

    Then, in parallel:

    1. Wait for the response.

    2. If the response’s internal response’s type is "default", then attempt to decode the resource as image.

    3. If the image format is supported, set action’s icon resource to the decoded resource. (Otherwise action has no icon resource.)

2.6. Showing a notification

The show steps for a given notification notification are:

  1. Wait for any fetches to complete and notification’s image resource icon resource, and badge resource to be set (if any), as well as the icon resources for the notification’s actions (if any).

  2. Let shown be false.

  3. Let oldNotification be the notification in the list of notifications whose tag is not the empty string and is notification’s tag, and whose origin is same origin with notification’s origin, if any, and null otherwise.

  4. If oldNotification is non-null, then:

    1. Handle close events with oldNotification.

    2. If the notification platform supports replacement, then:

      1. Replace oldNotification with notification, in the list of notifications.

      2. Set shown to true.

      Notification platforms are strongly encouraged to support native replacement as it leads to a better user experience.

    3. Otherwise, remove oldNotification from the list of notifications.

  5. If shown is false, then:

    1. Append notification to the list of notifications.

    2. Display notification on the device (e.g., by calling the appropriate notification platform API).

  6. If shown is false or oldNotification is non-null, and notification’s renotify preference is true, then run the alert steps for notification.

  7. If notification is a non-persistent notification, then queue a task to fire an event named show on the Notification object representing notification.

2.7. Activating a notification

When a notification notification, or one of its actions, is activated by the user, assuming the underlying notification platform supports activation, the user agent must (unless otherwise specified) run these steps:

  1. If notification is a persistent notification, then:

    1. Let action be the empty string.

    2. If one of notification’s actions was activated by the user, then set action to that action’s name.

    3. Fire a service worker notification event named "notificationclick" given notification and action.
  2. Otherwise, queue a task to run these steps:

    1. Let intoFocus be the result of firing an event named click on the Notification object representing notification, with its cancelable attribute initialized to true.

      User agents are encouraged to make focus() work from within the event listener for the event named click.

    2. If intoFocus is true, then the user agent should bring the notification’s related browsing context’s viewport into focus.

Throughout the web platform "activate" is intentionally misnamed as "click".

2.8. Closing a notification

When a notification is closed, either by the underlying notification platform or by the user, the close steps for it must be run.

The close steps for a given notification are:

  1. If the list of notifications does not contain notification, then abort these steps.

  2. Handle close events with notification.

  3. Remove notification from the list of notifications.

To handle close events given a notification, run these steps:

  1. If notification is a persistent notification and notification was closed by the user, then fire a service worker notification event named "notificationclose" given notification.

  2. If notification is a non-persistent notification, then queue a task to fire an event named close on the Notification object representing notification.

2.9. Alerting the user

The alert steps for alerting the user about a given notification are:

  1. Perform vibration using notification’s vibration pattern, if any.

3. API

[Exposed=(Window,Worker)]
interface Notification : EventTarget {
  constructor(DOMString title, optional NotificationOptions options = {});

  static readonly attribute NotificationPermission permission;
  [Exposed=Window] static Promise<NotificationPermission> requestPermission(optional NotificationPermissionCallback deprecatedCallback);

  static readonly attribute unsigned long maxActions;

  attribute EventHandler onclick;
  attribute EventHandler onshow;
  attribute EventHandler onerror;
  attribute EventHandler onclose;

  readonly attribute DOMString title;
  readonly attribute NotificationDirection dir;
  readonly attribute DOMString lang;
  readonly attribute DOMString body;
  readonly attribute DOMString tag;
  readonly attribute USVString image;
  readonly attribute USVString icon;
  readonly attribute USVString badge;
  [SameObject] readonly attribute FrozenArray<unsigned long> vibrate;
  readonly attribute EpochTimeStamp timestamp;
  readonly attribute boolean renotify;
  readonly attribute boolean? silent;
  readonly attribute boolean requireInteraction;
  [SameObject] readonly attribute any data;
  [SameObject] readonly attribute FrozenArray<NotificationAction> actions;

  undefined close();
};

dictionary NotificationOptions {
  NotificationDirection dir = "auto";
  DOMString lang = "";
  DOMString body = "";
  DOMString tag = "";
  USVString image;
  USVString icon;
  USVString badge;
  VibratePattern vibrate;
  EpochTimeStamp timestamp;
  boolean renotify = false;
  boolean? silent = null;
  boolean requireInteraction = false;
  any data = null;
  sequence<NotificationAction> actions = [];
};

enum NotificationPermission {
  "default",
  "denied",
  "granted"
};

enum NotificationDirection {
  "auto",
  "ltr",
  "rtl"
};

dictionary NotificationAction {
  required DOMString action;
  required DOMString title;
  USVString icon;
};

callback NotificationPermissionCallback = undefined (NotificationPermission permission);

A non-persistent notification is represented by one Notification object and can be created through Notification's constructor.

A persistent notification is represented by zero or more Notification objects and can be created through the showNotification() method.

3.1. Garbage collection

A Notification object must not be garbage collected while the list of notifications contains its corresponding notification and it has an event listener whose type is click, show, close, or error.

3.2. Constructors

The new Notification(title, options) constructor steps are:

  1. If this’s relevant global object is a ServiceWorkerGlobalScope object, then throw a TypeError.

  2. Let notification be the result of creating a notification given title, options, and this’s relevant settings object.

  3. Associate this with notification.

  4. Run these steps in parallel:

    1. If the result of getting the notifications permission state is not "granted", then queue a task to fire an event named error on this, and abort these steps.

    2. Run the fetch steps for notification.

    3. Run the show steps for notification.

3.3. Static members

The static permission getter steps are to return the result of getting the notifications permission state.

If you edit standards please refrain from copying the above. Synchronous permissions are like synchronous IO, a bad idea.

Developers are encouraged to use the Permissions query() method instead. [Permissions]

const permission = await navigator.permissions.query({name: "notifications"});
if (permission.state === "granted") {
   // We have permission to use the API…
}

The static requestPermission(deprecatedCallback) method steps are:

  1. Let global be the current global object.

  2. Let promise be a new promise in this’s relevant Realm.

  3. Run these steps in parallel:

    1. Let permissionState be the result of requesting permission to use "notifications".

    2. Queue a global task on the DOM manipulation task source given global to run these steps:

      1. If deprecatedCallback is given, then invoke deprecatedCallback with « permissionState ». If this throws an exception, then report the exception.

      2. Resolve promise with permissionState.

  4. Return promise.

Notifications are the one instance thus far where asking the user upfront makes sense. Specifications for other APIs should not use this pattern and instead employ one of the many more suitable alternatives.

The static maxActions getter steps are to return the maximum number of actions supported.

3.4. Object members

The following are the event handlers (and their corresponding event handler event types) that must be supported as attributes by the Notification object.

event handler event handler event type
onclick click
onshow show
onerror error
onclose close

The close() method steps are to run the close steps for this’s notification.

The title getter steps are to return this’s notification’s title.

The dir getter steps are to return this’s notification’s direction.

The lang getter steps are to return this’s notification’s language.

The body getter steps are to return this’s notification’s body.

The tag getter steps are to return this’s notification’s tag.

The image getter steps are:

  1. If there is no this’s notification’s image URL, then return the empty string.

  2. Return this’s notification’s image URL, serialized.

The icon getter steps are:

  1. If there is no this’s notification’s icon URL, then return the empty string.

  2. Return this’s notification’s icon URL, serialized.

The badge getter steps are:

  1. If there is no this’s notification’s badge URL, then return the empty string.

  2. Return this’s notification’s badge URL, serialized.

The vibrate getter steps are to return this’s notification’s vibration pattern.

The timestamp getter steps are to return this’s notification’s timestamp.

The renotify getter steps are to return this’s notification’s renotify preference.

The silent getter steps are to return this’s notification’s silent preference.

The requireInteraction getter steps are to return this’s notification’s require interaction preference.

The data getter steps are to return StructuredDeserialize(this’s notification’s data, this’s relevant Realm). If this throws an exception, then return null.

The actions getter steps are:

  1. Let frozenActions be an empty list of type NotificationAction.

  2. For each entry of this’s notification’s list of actions:

    1. Let action be a new NotificationAction.

    2. Set action["action"] to entry’s name.

    3. Set action["title"] to entry’s title.

    4. Set action["icon"] entry’s icon URL.

    5. Call Object.freeze on action, to prevent accidental mutation by scripts.

    6. Append action to frozenActions.

  3. Return the result of create a frozen array from frozenActions.

3.5. Examples

3.5.1. Using events from a page

Non-persistent Notification objects dispatch events during their lifecycle, which developers can use to generate desired behaviors.

The click event dispatches when the user activates a notification.

var not = new Notification("Gebrünn Gebrünn by Paul Kalkbrenner", { icon: "newsong.svg", tag: "song" });
not.onclick = function() { displaySong(this); };

3.5.2. Using actions from a service worker

Persistent notifications fire notificationclick events on the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.

Here a service worker shows a notification with a single "Archive" action, allowing users to perform this common task from the notification without having to open the website (for example the notification platform might show a button on the notification). The user can also activate the main body of the notification to open their inbox.

self.registration.showNotification("New mail from Alice", {
  actions: [{action: 'archive', title: "Archive"}]
});

self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function(event) {
  event.notification.close();
  if (event.action === 'archive') {
    silentlyArchiveEmail();
  } else {
    clients.openWindow("/inbox");
  }
}, false);

3.5.3. Using the tag member for multiple instances

Web applications frequently operate concurrently in multiple instances, such as when a user opens a mail application in multiple browser tabs. Since the desktop is a shared resource, the notifications API provides a way for these instances to easily coordinate, by using the tag member.

Notifications which represent the same conceptual event can be tagged in the same way, and when both are shown, the user will only receive one notification.

Instance 1                                   | Instance 2
                                             |
// Instance notices there is new mail.       |
new Notification("New mail from John Doe",   |
                 { tag: 'message1' });       |
                                             |
                                             |  // Slightly later, this instance notices
                                             |  // there is new mail.
                                             |  new Notification("New mail from John Doe",
                                             |                   { tag: 'message1' });

The result of this situation, if the user agent follows the algorithms here, is a single notification "New mail from John Doe".

3.5.4. Using the tag member for a single instance

The tag member can also be used by a single instance of an application to keep its notifications as current as possible as state changes.

For example, if Alice is using a chat application with Bob, and Bob sends multiple messages while Alice is idle, the application may prefer that Alice not see a desktop notification for each message.

// Bob says "Hi"
new Notification("Bob: Hi", { tag: 'chat_Bob' });

// Bob says "Are you free this afternoon?"
new Notification("Bob: Hi / Are you free this afternoon?", { tag: 'chat_Bob' });

The result of this situation is a single notification; the second one replaces the first having the same tag. In a platform that queues notifications (first-in-first-out), using the tag allows the notification to also maintain its position in the queue. Platforms where the newest notifications are shown first, a similar result could be achieved using the close() method.

4. Service worker API

dictionary GetNotificationOptions {
  DOMString tag = "";
};

partial interface ServiceWorkerRegistration {
  Promise<undefined> showNotification(DOMString title, optional NotificationOptions options = {});
  Promise<sequence<Notification>> getNotifications(optional GetNotificationOptions filter = {});
};

[Exposed=ServiceWorker]
interface NotificationEvent : ExtendableEvent {
  constructor(DOMString type, NotificationEventInit eventInitDict);

  readonly attribute Notification notification;
  readonly attribute DOMString action;
};

dictionary NotificationEventInit : ExtendableEventInit {
  required Notification notification;
  DOMString action = "";
};

partial interface ServiceWorkerGlobalScope {
  attribute EventHandler onnotificationclick;
  attribute EventHandler onnotificationclose;
};

The showNotification(title, options) method steps are:

  1. Let global be this’s relevant global object.

  2. Let promise be a new promise in this’s relevant Realm.

  3. If this’s active worker is null, then reject promise with a TypeError and return promise.

  4. Let serviceWorkerRegistration be this.

  5. Let notification be the result of creating a notification given title, options, this’s relevant settings object, and serviceWorkerRegistration. If this threw an exception, then reject promise with that exception and return promise.

  6. Run these steps in parallel:

    1. If the result of getting the notifications permission state is not "granted", then queue a global task on the DOM manipulation task source given global to reject promise with a TypeError, and abort these steps.

    2. Run the fetch steps for notification.

    3. Run the show steps for notification.

    4. Queue a global task on the DOM manipulation task source given global to resolve promise with undefined.

  7. Return promise.

The getNotifications(filter) method steps are:

  1. Let global be this’s relevant global object.

  2. Let realm be this’s relevant Realm.

  3. Let origin be this’s relevant settings object’s origin.

  4. Let promise be a new promise in realm.

  5. Run these steps in parallel:

    1. Let tag be filter["tag"].

    2. Let notifications be a list of all notifications in the list of notifications whose origin is same origin with origin, whose service worker registration is this, and whose tag, if tag is not the empty string, is tag.

    3. Queue a global task on the DOM manipulation task source given global to run these steps:

      1. Let objects be a list.

      2. For each notification in notifications, in creation order, create a new Notification object with realm representing notification, and append it to objects.

      3. Resolve promise with objects.

  6. Return promise.

This method returns zero or more new Notification objects which might represent the same underlying notification of Notification objects already in existence.


To fire a service worker notification event named name given notification (a notification), and an optional action (a DOMString, defaulting to the empty string), Fire Functional Event name using NotificationEvent on notification’s service worker registration with the following properties:

notification
A new Notification object representing notification.
action
action

The notification getter steps are to return the value it was initialized to.

The action getter steps are to return the value it was initialized to.

The following is the event handler (and its corresponding event handler event type) that must be supported as attribute by the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope object:

event handler event handler event type
onnotificationclick notificationclick
onnotificationclose notificationclose
