The tutorial is great but this I guess is for a native application and not a PWA?

I already use SweetAlert but that will only work if the PWA is in the foreground. If the PWA is in the background I want to use a local notification to show a message/alert to the user. Just like what happens when a new WhatsApp or email message arrives on your phone but you have those apps closed or not in the foreground. You still get an alert.

Yes that is nice but it will not work for a PWA

Hello,

You are right, Push Notifications work only in native apps. No ways to use the same in PWA

You're correct that push notifications typically work only in native apps. However, there are emerging technologies like Web Push API that allow push notifications to be used in Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). It's worth exploring for your specific use case.
