Edge not receiving notifications when closed
This has been going on for months, it actually never worked and despite many posts from other users, it wasn't put on the feedback list to be fixed. I tried sending several feedbacks through browser as well in the last months.
I hope someone manually give this a higher priority.
here is the Chrome article about this:
https://developers.google.com/web/ilt/pwa/introduction-to-push-notifications
"Push messaging lets developers engage users by providing timely and customized content outside the context of the web page. It is one of the most critical APIs to come to the web, giving users the ability to engage with web experiences even when the browser is closed, without the need for a native app install."
Currently Edge canary is Version 81.0.406.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
all the related flags (native notifications etc etc) are all tested and they have no effects.
•Background Push Notifications
Receive push messages in the background when the browser is not running. Requires Windows 10 May 2020 Update or later. I found this in the Canary version of 85.0549.0 and above. can anyone say works this and no?
- I am having the same problem in Edge Dev (91.0.825.0) AND Edge 'retail' (91.0.825.0). In both versions I've made sure notifications are enabled, the sites I want notifications from are set to allow, and in Windows system settings that edge and edge dev have notifications. I've logged out of both and removed my account, and for edge dev i've removed and reinstalled. No dice. I have these exact same settings set in Google Chrome (89.0.4389.90) and those DO work, though Chrome doesnt have a statup boost option (startup boost is enabled is both versions of Edge). This has NEVER worked for me in Dev. Are there any updates?
Eratork Hello. I now have windows 10 21337 all works without problems. Notifications are coming. also all works in windows 10 21h1 and 20h2
- Windows 10 21H1 is the version I have.
- Hi,
which version/build of Windows 10 are you on?
- Working for outlook and twitter and some other apps, while not working for Gmail and some other sites. I even tried using them as apps.
hussain5416 doesn't work for twitter. I downloaded from the Microsoft store and tried to add the site itself as an app. What's your edge version?
- Version 84.0.495.2 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
Good afternoon. I wrote in the technical support of the Chrome browser and received the answer that if the browser window is closed, then there will be no notifications from the sites. And no setup can fix it. It would be great if the browser would be able to send notifications from sites, despite the fact that it is closed.

Hey everyone! This is William from the Microsoft Edge team. Dmstarchikov92 is correct. Currently, Chromium-based browsers cannot receive notifications while the browser is closed. If you're still seeing notifications when Microsoft Edge or Chrome is closed, it's possible you might still have a PWA open on the taskbar (so the browser process is still running). But we definitely hear your feedback about wanting to receive notifications 24/7.William Devereux For twitter, I have installed it via the Microsoft store and it uses Microsoft edge as a browser so i try to turn on push notifications from the settings but it says that my browser does not support push notifications. (I have the newest version of Microsoft edge: "Version 84.0.522.58 (Official build) (64-bit)", and a up to date twitter app: "6.1.4.1000". What do I to fix this?
Dmstarchikov92 I tried this 2 months ago. installed Twitter as a pwa app in chrome. notifications worked when chrome closed.
nikitat1260 not working for me.
HotCakeX Hello. I wrote to them about it, too. I also created a bill in support and wrote on twitter. I suggest you write there, too. I hope they hear us. because it's a necessary function.
- Nice, yes I also wrote on Twitter directly to one of the Edge developer team members, he was surprised because he wasn't aware such functionality even existed in Chrome.
HotCakeX This feature is also there in the old edge. and what answer did the developer give you? to me they wrote that they are working on it.
