I'm using serviceworker-webpack-plugin to create a service worker in my reactjs apps.
I've followed the example to register the service worker in the main thread. I've learnt that Html5 Notification doesn't work on Android chrome, so I used registration.showNotification('Title', { body: 'Body.'}); instead of new Notification('...') to push notifications. But when I tested it on the desktop chrome, it throws this error
registration.showNotification is not a function
Is the registration.showNotification only available on Android chrome but not on the desktop?
public ponentDidMount(){
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator &&
(window.location.protocol === 'https:' || window.location.hostname === 'localhost')
) {
const registration = runtime.register();
registerEvents(registration, {
onInstalled: () => {
registration.showNotification('Title', { body: 'Body.'});
}
})
} else {
console.log('serviceWorker not available')
}
}

Reset to default 2runtime.register() returns a JavaScript Promise, which is why you are getting a not a function error because Promises don't have a showNotification() method.
Instead, you'd have to chain a .then() callback to it in order to get the actual registration object (or use async/await, which is also cool).
runtime.register().then(registration => {
registration.showNotification(...);
})
Below solution worked for me. Can try.
The main root cause of .showNotification() not firing is service worker. Service worker is not getting registered. So it wont call registration.showNotification() method.
Add service-worker.js file to your project root directory
You can download service-worker.js file from Link
Use below code to register service worker and fire registration.showNotification() method.
const messaging = firebase.messaging();
messaging.onMessage(function (payload) {
console.log("Message received. ", payload);
NotisElem.innerHTML = NotisElem.innerHTML + JSON.stringify(payload);
//foreground notifications
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
navigator.serviceWorker
.register('./service-worker.js', { scope: './' })
.then(function (registration) {
console.log("Service Worker Registered");
setTimeout(() => {
registration.showNotification(payload.data.title, {
body: payload.data.body,
data: payload.data.link
});
registration.update();
}, 100);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log("Service Worker Failed to Register", err);
})
}
});
