title: Notification API in Android Chrome browser
body: <p>My web application uses the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/notification">Notification API</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I thought KitKat's Chrome browser was supposed to have it, or at least the old <code>webkitNotifications</code>. But both <code>window.Notification</code> and <code>window.webkitNotifications</code> are <code>undefined</code> in my tests in Chrome in Android 4.4.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to push notifications from the browser to the user when the browser isn't visible in Android 4.4 ? Or do I still have to embed my web app in an Android application to achieve this ? Of course I'm open to other solutions than the HTML5 Notification API, as long as they're practical for my users (no flash). Or to a reliable webkit based alternative to Chrome and having a notification API.</p>
