Desktop Notifications not appearing when browser tab is closed for discord

Demon

Here's whatsup, when desktop notifications are enabled (permission allowed through chrome browser), they actually DON'T popup when the Discord tab is closed in the browser.

This is peculiar, because with other platforms such as twitter/facebook, even if one doesn't have those websites open in any tabs, notifications are still pushed from those sites.

As how the mobile app works, when the app isn't open, you still get push notifications, the same should be through the browser, when the site isn't open.

    I dont think it actually supports notifications when the tab is closed, most message and calling web apps dont support it either like the skype web app and google voice

    But it can support it if they make it so.

     

    "Two new APIs, called Push API and Notifications API, facilitate the headlining new push notification features. Thanks to these APIs users can still get notifications from pages even if the associated page tab has been closed or been navigated away from. To some this will set alarm bells ringing as the functionality could easily cross the line from useful to obtrusive. However Google requires web page developers to get user consent to use the Push API."
