Handle Browser Level Notification Using Selenium

While surfing the internet, everyone must have come across so many websites that send notifications. Those notifications can be on a desktop or device even when that web page is not open in our browser.

Generally, we call them web push notifications. Below is the screenshot of notifications from the Google Chrome browser:-

On a side note, we would like to mention about WooCommerce Push Notification plugin that we have developed allowing merchants to send custom push notifications to subscribers.

Step-by-step execution of Code:-

We have to follow the below-mentioned steps to handle these notifications:-

1:  Create an instance of ChromeOptions class

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

2: Add chrome switch to disable notification – “–disable-notifications”

options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");

3: Set path for the chrome driver

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/home/users/garima.pathak/Desktop/softwares/chromedriver");

4: Pass ChromeOptions instance to ChromeDriver Constructor

WebDriver driver =new ChromeDriver(options);

5: Give the navigation of the page on which we want to handle the notifications.

driver.get("http://wordpressdemo.webkul.com/wordpress-latest-tweets/");

Code:-

The complete code will look like this:-

package automationFramework;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

public class Notifications {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/home/users/garima.pathak/Desktop/softwares/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver =new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("http://wordpressdemo.webkul.com/wordpress-latest-tweets/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}

That’s all about handling the notifications using Selenium. Thanks for reading this blog 🙂 Keep coming back up for more dev blogs.
