Examples
In this simple example we add a listener to the notifications.onClicked event to listen for system notifications being clicked. When this occurs, we log an appropriate message to the console.
js
browser.notifications.onClicked.addListener((notificationId) => {
console.log(`Notification ${notificationId} was clicked by the user`);
});
