Examples
You can use the notificationclick
event in an addEventListener
method:
js
self.addEventListener("notificationclick", (event) => {
console.log("On notification click: ", event.notification.tag);
event.notification.close();
// This looks to see if the current is already open and
// focuses if it is
event.waitUntil(
clients
.matchAll({
type: "window",
})
.then((clientList) => {
for (const client of clientList) {
if (client.url === "/" && "focus" in client) return client.focus();
}
if (clients.openWindow) return clients.openWindow("/");
})
);
});
Or use the onnotificationclick
event handler property:
js
self.onnotificationclick = (event) => {
console.log("On notification click: ", event.notification.tag);
event.notification.close();
// This looks to see if the current is already open and
// focuses if it is
event.waitUntil(
clients
.matchAll({
type: "window",
})
.then((clientList) => {
for (const client of clientList) {
if (client.url === "/" && "focus" in client) return client.focus();
}
if (clients.openWindow) return clients.openWindow("/");
})
);
};
You can handle event actions using event.action
within a notificationclick
event handler:
js
navigator.serviceWorker.register("sw.js");
Notification.requestPermission((result) => {
if (result === "granted") {
navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then((registration) => {
// Show a notification that includes an action titled Archive.
registration.showNotification("New mail from Alice", {
actions: [
{
action: "archive",
title: "Archive",
},
],
});
});
}
});
self.addEventListener(
"notificationclick",
(event) => {
event.notification.close();
if (event.action === "archive") {
// User selected the Archive action.
archiveEmail();
} else {
// User selected (e.g., clicked in) the main body of notification.
clients.openWindow("/inbox");
}
},
false
);
