I can confirm this is still a problem in electron 4.0.4 on MacOS 10.14 using the example repository above

[chenerzhang]

There are any updates?

[daltonmenezes]

Same behavior on Electron v.5.0.6, v6.0.0-beta12, v7.0.0-nightly.

self.registration.showNotification('test')

does nothing, but works in Chrome.

is there any update on this please?

[joaomlemos]

Same behavior with Electron v9.0.4.

Any update or a possible ETA ?

Electron doesn't currently support persistent notifications. We would consider PRs that added support, but have no plans to work on it in the immediate future.

See e.g.

electron/shell/browser/notifications/platform_notification_service.cc

Line 134 in fd0eaf4

// Electron doesn't support persistent notifications.

Still the same in Electron v11.1.1

I'd love it if this was implemented.

It'd mean I'd be able to create notifications with buttons which you can only do from a service worker.

Please implement this! We have to drop election otherwise.

[Eugeny]

@Raybao are you seriously threatening to not use Electron in a project that's so serious that you can afford to change its core framework?

[cvl]

One of the most basic and most critical features. Not possible to create serious apps otherwise.

[Aarbel]

👍 please electron team, add this api

[jpschw]

Is there a way we can add a shim that will override this and forward the notification to the regular Notification api?

Still would love to see this! I might give it a go, but I don't expect to get far, since I don't know any C++, nor have any experience with Chromium development. Since this is implemented in Chromium, I am hoping that some elaborate copy&pasta might be enough.
