Hey Peter,
When you say desktop right now that basically means X11 without any
confinement in place and no lifecycle enforcement, so applications run
happily and battery wastfully in the background at all times.
On the other hand anything running Ubuntu Personal with Mir as the
display server, which is most likely a phone (but can also be a tablet
or desktop if you're adventorous) pauses apps once they go into the
background. They won't be able to keep track of updates let alone send
a notification.
This is why push notifications are needed. A background service will do
the checking for updates and bring the application in the foreground if
the user opens the notification.
Hope that makes things a bit clearer.
Regards,
Christian

Ouch, that's unfortunate. Users are already requesting notifications
as a feature.
Why is it possible to have desktop notifications on an Ubuntu desktop
machine, and it's not possible on Ubuntu Touch? Are we using two
different implementations here and there? (How is convergence going to
work if the two worlds behave differently?)
Would be good to know,
Peter

Yes, the Gmail notifications are created by the account-polld
background
service. That logic has nothing to do with the webapp.

Oliver, I see that Gmail (the WebApp?) has push notifications on my
device.
Is this maybe related to the Online Accounts, and not the WebApp?
Because
the Gmail WebApp only has "accounts" as a policy group, nothing
else. Peter

permission when you login. On Ubuntu Touch the same thing must
happen. I'm
not sure I have seen this before (in a WebApp).
except that your app is suspended when it is not having the focus
or the
screen is locked ... so the only time when notifications directly
from the
app work is while you are using it actively ... ciao oli
