In case you would be using the Node-RED dashboard, you can use the https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-ui-web-push node. That node works closely together with Maxim's nodes. Remark: it is not published on NPM yet. In case you use another web framework, I don't know how to do it. Because this repository only contains the Node-RED node, but no client-side service worker script...

You can install it directly from github like this: npm install bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-ui-web-push

Yes as you can see on my readme page you need both https and a signed certificate. To make the trusted certificate easier, I have developed recently the node-red-contrib-letsencrypt (also not on npm yet). I use it in combination with duckdns which works fine. And if you use Node-RED 1.1 (currently in beta phase) you can - based on my pull request - reload your renewed letsencrypt certificates into Node-RED without restarting...
