An EventListener property called whenever an event of type statechange is fired; it is basically fired anytime the ServiceWorker.state changes. 
ServiceWorker.onstatechange = function(statechangeevent) { ... } ServiceWorker.addEventListener('statechange', function(statechangeevent) { ... } )
 This code snippet is from the service worker registration-events sample (live demo). The code listens for any change in the ServiceWorker.state and returns its value. 
var serviceWorker; if (registration.installing) { serviceWorker = registration.installing; document.querySelector('#kind').textContent = 'installing'; } else if (registration.waiting) { serviceWorker = registration.waiting; document.querySelector('#kind').textContent = 'waiting'; } else if (registration.active) { serviceWorker = registration.active; document.querySelector('#kind').textContent = 'active'; } if (serviceWorker) { logState(serviceWorker.state); serviceWorker.addEventListener('statechange', function(e) { logState(e.target.state); }); }
 Note that when statechange fires, the service worker's references may have changed. For example: 
navigator.serviceWorker.register(..).then(function(swr) { swr.installing.state == "installing" swr.installing.onstatechange = function() { swr.installing == null; // At this point, swr.waiting OR swr.active might be true. This is because the statechange // event gets queued, meanwhile the underlying worker may have gone into the waiting // state and will be immediately activated if possible. } })
