How to enable push notifications from a webapp

Using /e/OS Settings
1

I have a Murena FP6 running /e/os 4.0-a15-20260610633983-official-FP6

App Compatibility 0.3.15.250932-17

MicroG companion 0.3.15.40226-17

The self check, shows all blue ticks, but I’m not able to get the self check to re-run and the ticks look “greyed-out” making me wonder if the info is correct.

Online docs imply that there should be some MicroG configuration, where I can enable/disable push notifications. I can’t find ANY MicroG configuration at all.

What am I missing? Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks

Seb

Settings > System > App compatibility > Cloud messaging.

If at first unsuccessful you could uninstall the app (perhaps reboot).

Settings > System > App compatibility > Google device registration: toggle on.

Reinstall the app, if necessary reinstate Cloud messaging.

Test notifications.

Turn off Google registration if “one off registration” was sufficient.

I see this in dark theme, nicely bright out of dark theme.

Thanks for your response, Aibd.

I can open Settings > System > App compatibility > Cloud messaging fine.

The apps that I’d like to enable push notifications for are webapps - installed from a web page - not apps downloaded from the App Lounge. They don’t appear in the list of registered Cloud messaging apps.

I have enabled push notifications in the webapps. Is there anything else I should try?

Thanks

UnifiedPush is an alternative to Google’s Cloud messaging which I flagged as fitting

Here is a ntfy blog Going Google-Free with UnifiedPush in /e/OS — julian.

Maybe your apps are using Web push notifications Web Push Notifications: A Comprehensive Guide for Developers.

That’s an interesting article. However, there is no Unified Push option in my System settings.

You are right it just runs in the background.

How to enable push notifications from a webapp?

First define the system used by the webapp.

So I have seen this twice … is why I went to

… as Registering is the important step … but only if your webapp were using this common method.
