= Overview =
Push notifications is a a collection of features, webAPIs, and servers enabling web applications to efficiently notify client browsers of an event.  Ideal use cases are a messaging, email, calendar, and games.


= High Level Design =
Push Notification contains the following technologies:
==== Notification API ====
WebAPI landed in Fx22.  Can be used without push and service workers, but will be a popular use case.

==== Service Workers ====
Service workers is the ability for your browser to run a script in the background enabling offline applications, background processing, and push notifications.

==== Push WebAPI ====
Web DOM API that enables a website to subscribe a client, upon granting permission, to send events to the client.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API
==== Push Server ====
Mozilla hosted server that brokers the registration and sending of push events from web app servers to clients.  Past terms for this include: SimplePush and WebPush which distinguished low level design and protocol support.  For web developers, the server architecture may migrate when appropriate, but the WebAPI will remain the same.
