AirMessage Web: Send desktop notifications

[devjgm]

When a new imessage is received when I'm using AirMessage web on Linux (in chrome) I do hear a "ding", but it would be nice if there was also a desktop popup notification in case my volume is down, or headphones are off or something. A visual notification would be great.

Thanks for creating these issues!

AirMessage for web will create a desktop notification if the tab is currently in the background. Is it possible you're keeping the tab open in the foreground?

Oh. I probably did have the tab in the foreground but in a separate chrome instance on some other virtual desktop.

... testing w/ tab in background...

Shoot, I'm not able to get it to send notifications.

I'm on debian 11, gnome 40.4, and Chrome Version 94.0.4606.81 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Is there anyway that we can get Windows 10 notifications even when the Airmessage web client is in the foreground?

it doesn't send chrome desktop notifications, it does ping though with the audio file
