Edge not receiving notifications when closed

This has been going on for months, it actually never worked and despite many posts from other users, it wasn't put on the feedback list to be fixed. I tried sending several feedbacks through browser ...

canary
Chrome
Chromium

    •Background Push Notifications
    Receive push messages in the background when the browser is not running. Requires Windows 10 May 2020 Update or later. I found this in the Canary version of 85.0549.0 and above. can anyone say works this and no?

Well, no, you need atleast one instance of the browser running to get notifications.

I'm not getting gmail notifications even if the browser is open (and yes I've checked the settings in gmail and the gmail notifications settings from the browser)

Notifications should be working even if the browser is closed.

    Thanks, I tried it on Outlook website and I received Email notification when Edge was completely closed and no PWA was open either.

      hussain5416 I checked it out in the Canary version. It works for me. I allowed twitter access to notifications. then I turned on the flag about which I wrote above. When the browser is closed, notifications work.

        For those who don't like the fact that the new Edge doesn't work in the background, this addition may come in handy.

        Don't forget to let background apps work in your browser settings.
