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?

Hey everyone! This is William from the Microsoft Edge team. Dmstarchikov92 is correct. Currently, Chromium-based browsers cannot receive notifications while the browser is closed. If you're still seeing notifications when Microsoft Edge or Chrome is closed, it's possible you might still have a PWA open on the taskbar (so the browser process is still running). But we definitely hear your feedback about wanting to receive notifications 24/7.

William Devereux  For twitter, I have installed it via the Microsoft store and it uses Microsoft edge as a browser so i try to turn on push notifications from the settings but it says that my browser does not support push notifications. (I have the newest version of Microsoft edge: "Version 84.0.522.58 (Official build) (64-bit)", and a up to date twitter app: "6.1.4.1000". What do I to fix this?

    Rohbro_ It only works in the Canary and dev. in a stable version so far this is not.
