Well, no, you need atleast one instance of the browser running to get notifications.
I'm not getting gmail notifications even if the browser is open (and yes I've checked the settings in gmail and the gmail notifications settings from the browser)
Notifications should be working even if the browser is closed.

hussain5416 I checked it out in the Canary version. It works for me. I allowed twitter access to notifications. then I turned on the flag about which I wrote above. When the browser is closed, notifications work.

For those who don't like the fact that the new Edge doesn't work in the background, this addition may come in handy.
Don't forget to let background apps work in your browser settings.
