I have been testing using the code from this demo:

https://davidwalsh.name/demo/notifications-api.php

The above Demo works on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge perfectly.

I used his demo to make an .aspx page. Basically view source copy/paste. I only added a <Form..> </Form> so it would work in an .aspx page. When I upload to godaddy, it works in Firefox and Edge perfectly, but fails in Chrome.

Anybody suggest any reason it would not work in Chrome from godaddy? Javascript is not my thing, but I can't find anything wrong?

Would my site not having SSL keep notifications from working? Tried to google this, but it goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with this question.

Thanks,

Slight update. My .aspx page works in localhost on Chrome (IIS Express), as well (and Firefox/Edge). It only stops working when I upload to godaddy. It never even asks to allow notifications on Chrome from godaddy. Does not work if I specifically go into settings and add the URL to allow notifications

One last edit. This is hard to google because there seem to be a lot of similar keywords between push notifications and web notifications. I am doing web notifications and I did find this:

Also, web notification works with both non-SSL and SSL website

That blows my one big theory...unless that's outdated.

Pretty much the core code...that works everywhere except the one place I really need it to work:

Show a Notification

<script type="text/javascript">

        function showNotification() {

            if(window.Notification) {

                Notification.requestPermission(function(status) { 

                    console.log('Status: ', status); 

                    var n = new Notification('Title', { body: 'I am the body text!' }); 

                });

            }

            else {

                alert('Your browser doesn't support notifications.');

            }

        }

    </script>   

OK, after extensive testing, it has to be an SSL issue. Despite the fact that multiple websites say "Web Notifications" -- note: not Push Notifications -- do not require SSL, I found this in another stackoverflow question:

Notification api will only work if you try running it from localhost, 127.0.0.1 or https in your domain because of security concerns. It saves a service worker file on your browser so that hackers or any man in the middle can easily hack that data if it is not encrypted via SSL. So in live websites you must have SSL certificate but on your local machine you can run this using any server.

The demo script will indeed work from localhost (IIS Express), but not from IIS on 192.168.x.x

That is very frustrating because it will work in Firefox and Edge without SSL.

Also, it is super difficult to google this because it looks like not many people use Web Notications. Most search results come back for Push Notifications, which is not what I'm using.
