Summary: "The Push API gives web applications the ability to receive messages pushed to them from a server, whether or not the web app is in the foreground, or even currently loaded, on a user agent. This lets developers deliver asynchronous notifications and updates to users that opt in, resulting in better engagement with timely new content."
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1206207 Link to standard: https://w3c.github.io/push-api/ Platform coverage: Firefox for Android. This is already shipping in Firefox Desktop: the Firefox Desktop intent to implement message is at [1] and the intent to ship message is at [2]. Estimated or target release: Firefox for Android 47 is desired. 48 seems most likely. Preference behind which this will be implemented: this is both behind a build flag (due to Android-specific permission changes, etc) and behind dom.push.enabled. DevTools bug: this should be covered by the Desktop devtools ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1214248.
