PWA - requesting permission not working on Android Chrome

I am trying to ask user to grant permissions by Notification.requestPermission(), but it seems to work only in desktop browser.

In Android Chrome the prompt does not show up, but if I do alert(Notification.permission) then it alerts denied.

What else can I do?

Solution

  • You might have blocked the notifications in your mobile browser unknowingly Activate them again

    Go to 

    Chrome => Settings => Advanced => Site Settings => Notifications and check Ask first

    Allow or block notifications from some sites:

    1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Chrome app Chrome.
    2. To the right of the address bar, tap More More and then Info Information.
    3. Tap Site Settings and then Notifications.
    4. If you don’t see the setting here, this website can’t send you notifications.
    5. Choose Allow or Ask first.
