Web push in Android WebView #142

Closed rrjanbiah closed 3 years ago

Apologies, if this is a wrong place or answered somewhere...

Since, Android WebView doesn't support web push yet, can this library be used to provide that feature?

Note that this library implements the server-side functionality, i.e. sending a push notification to the push service. This assumes that the browser (or Android WebView) has already created a push subscription first and has sent the subscription to the server. See Usage Example for an explanation of this flow.

As for Android WebView, this blog post by Marco Collin in 2018 mentions that Android WebView does not implement the Push API. Judging from this Chromium ticket that is still the case as I'm writing this. If your client cannot create a push subscription, then this library cannot help you either.
