MicrosoftImproving notifications and badging in Microsoft Edge
Has anyone succeeded in getting notification badges on Windows taskbar yet?
if so please share your Windows version, Edge version and website. thanks
- yes, works like a champ, once you add the code to your application.
Yes of course, no doubt it works. what I was asking was for a production and public website on the Internet right now, like any social media.
Just to get an idea of how many popular and well-known websites on the Internet are using this feature.
- I think twitter does. I don't have any notifications at the moment, cleared them yesterday. Will watch and see what happens later today.
- HotCakeX Not me. I have Outlook installed as a web app and notifications are enabled, but still don't see it.
- Microsoft will have to add code to Outlook to trigger badging in the icon
- Okay
HotCakeX Kam, thank you for trying out with the Badging experience on Edge! In order for badging to work, the site's developer needs to support it using the badging standard. You can use this demo (https://badging-api.glitch.me/index.html) to try out the behavior for yourself. This article also has more details on how the API works, including sample code (https://web.dev/badging-api/#try-it). This demo should work on Edge 81 (and Chrome 81) and above. For background trigger though, you should have web push implementation on your site, and the user needs Windows 10 20H1 version or above.
Thanks!
