I think you are mixing PushNotifications and Desktop Notifications here

In your example, you will be using Desktop Notifications [1], and that will
show a "bubble" (depends on the OS). PushNotification will be used to send
new data (version number) from your server to a webapp (right now, as Doug
says) and then the app will decide what to do: connect to its server to
retrieve data, show a Desktop Notification saying: "Hey! There are new
data, click here to retrieve it!", or even do nothing.
