Install and uninstall the Notification Center web application

Beta Feature

You can receive and manage notifications outside of your browser by installing a Notification Center web application. The application looks the same, and has the same functionality, as Notification Center within Search, Social, & Commerce. The application is available for Google Chrome 40 and higher or Microsoft Edge 17 and higher.

Once you install the Notification Center application, it’s automatically enabled in the browser’s applications manager, and it loads as a separate window whose layout is dynamically arranged based on the window size. You can open and close the application from the browser’s applications manager or pin it to the operating system’s taskbar or dock. The application is automatically updated.
