MBachhuber You're right. It doesn't work.

On each paid service I tried. The message arrived only once. Then the payload was null.

When I wrote the message, I tried it only 1 time and I was hoping it was working.

But the bug (probably it is more a problem) is not in the Microsoft server, but in the Google server. It seems that Google is just blocking all push notifications from Edge.

 

I wrote everything I was able to debug and discover in this stackoverflow post:

Chromium is in the version 88 now. Edge for Android is still using Chromium v.77.

All push messages are directed to the Google Server. Every browser using Chromium use the Google servers to post messages. But messages from Edge are just removed...

Still no reply or any answer from Microsoft team.

But:
- www.pushengage.com works on Android. Probably it use the Google service... Can't believe they was able to bring it to edge with the standard web API.
- Edge Canary use the new chromium version (91 and 92, not 77). But the browser doesn't generate any Endpoint link, when a subscription is made over javascript.
