With Firebase Cloud Messaging (for web), how can I generate the notification that appears when the webpage is closed or in the background, but when I'm actually focused on the webpage?
It's my understanding that messaging.onMessage(...)
is where I handle incoming messages when the page is in focus, but I can't seem to find documentation on how I could still create the notification pop-ups as though the page were in the background.
Thanks for your time!
handle incoming messges by Notification API
messaging.onMessage(function(payload) {
const notificationTitle = payload.notification.title;
const notificationOptions = {
body: payload.notification.body,
icon: payload.notification.icon,
};
if (!("Notification" in window)) {
console.log("This browser does not support system notifications");
}
// Let's check whether notification permissions have already been granted
else if (Notification.permission === "granted") {
// If it's okay let's create a notification
var notification = new Notification(notificationTitle,notificationOptions);
notification.onclick = function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // prevent the browser from focusing the Notification's tab
window.open(payload.notification.click_action , '_blank');
notification.close();
}
}
});
