The spec depends on Service Workers, e.g. see the first paragraph of the abstract: > A push service allows a webapp server to send messages to a webapp, regardless of whether the webapp is currently active on the user agent. The push message will be delivered to a Service Worker[...] This enables the following part of the use case section [1]: > the webapp is not currently active in a browser window: this relates to use cases in which the user may close the webapp, but still benefits from the webapp being able to be restarted when a push message is received The `PushManager` is only exposed on `ServiceWorkerRegistration` for this reason: https://w3c.github.io/push-api/#extensions-to-the-serviceworkerregistration-interface Without Service Workers the user agent would have to spin up a web page, with most likely far higher CPU, memory, and network requirements. https://w3c.github.io/push-api/#introduction --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/push-api/issues/104#issuecomment-69567858
