PushManager

The PushManager interface of the Push API provides a way to receive notifications from third-party servers as well as request URLs for push notifications.

This interface is accessed via the ServiceWorkerRegistration.pushManager property.

Static properties

PushManager.supportedContentEncodings: Returns an array of supported content codings that can be used to encrypt the payload of a push message.

Instance methods

PushManager.getSubscription(): Retrieves an existing push subscription. It returns a Promise that resolves to a PushSubscription object containing details of an existing subscription. If no existing subscription exists, this resolves to a null value.
PushManager.permissionState(): Returns a Promise that resolves to the permission state of the current PushManager, which will be one of 'granted', 'denied', or 'prompt'.
PushManager.subscribe(): Subscribes to a push service. It returns a Promise that resolves to a PushSubscription object containing details of a push subscription. A new push subscription is created if the current service worker does not have an existing subscription.

Deprecated methods

PushManager.hasPermission() Deprecated: Returns a Promise that resolves to the PushPermissionStatus of the requesting webapp, which will be one of granted, denied, or default. Replaced by PushManager.permissionState().
PushManager.register() Deprecated: Subscribes to a push subscription. Replaced by PushManager.subscribe().
PushManager.registrations() Deprecated: Retrieves existing push subscriptions. Replaced by PushManager.getSubscription().
PushManager.unregister() Deprecated: Unregisters and deletes a specified subscription endpoint. In the updated API, a subscription is unregistered by calling the PushSubscription.unsubscribe() method.

Example

this.onpush = (event) => {
  console.log(event.data);
  // From here we can write the data to IndexedDB, send it to any open
  // windows, display a notification, etc.
};

navigator.serviceWorker
  .register("serviceworker.js")
  .then((serviceWorkerRegistration) => {
    serviceWorkerRegistration.pushManager.subscribe().then(
      (pushSubscription) => {
        console.log(pushSubscription.endpoint);
        // The push subscription details needed by the application
        // server are now available, and can be sent to it using,
        // for example, an XMLHttpRequest.
      },
      (error) => {
        console.error(error);
      },
    );
  });
