gcm推送通知，渐进式webapp

Question

I followed the google documents to create a progressive webapp and I've just implemented push notifications, however whenever I close the app I don't get any notifications.

Other apps like whatsapp seem to be able to send those notifications is there a difference between native notifications and gcm push notifications from a progressive webapp?

Answer 1

There absolutely no difference between the two, the rendering part is the same, it just that native ones are the notifications that comes from a apk generated app and the other one is rendered using google chrome or any web browser that support the functionality.

Beside the service worker with the help of manifest.json file will use the GCM ( Google Cloud Messaging) to send notifications to end users.

I worked and implemented such functionalities before, and I got my notification directly to the browser and my android phone as well, therefore I created a Github repo with nice documentation that simulate just that using Nodejs and simple web interface, please feel free to check I guess it holds what you seek :
