Answer 1

We can show desktop notification by javascript function

function createNotification() {

    var options = {
        body: 'This is the body of the notification',
        icon: 'stupidcodes.com.png',
        dir: 'ltr'
    };

    var notification = new Notification("Hi there", options);

    notification.onclick = function () {
        window.open(document.URL);
    };
}

function notifyMe() {
    if (!("Notification" in window)) {
        alert("This browser does not support desktop notification");
    }
    else if (Notification.permission === "granted") {

        createNotification();

    }
    else if (Notification.permission !== 'denied') {
        Notification.requestPermission(function (permission) {
            if (!('permission' in Notification)) {
                Notification.permission = permission;
            }
            if (permission === 'granted') {

                createNotification();
            }
        });
    }
}

first check throgh ajax function if there is any unread funtion then call this notifyMe() function
