Question

I want to handle the notification popup in jabong website using selenium.

Do you want to disable push notifications from this site or from all? — alecxe, Sep 14 '16 at 12:57

@tsivarajan if you just want to dismiss the window clicking anywhere on the page that isn't the notification will make it go away. — Pseudo Sudo, Sep 14 '16 at 13:07

You cannot control this kind of "popup" via Selenium directly.

What you can do is to:

disable all push notifications for the browser session entirely:

FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
ffprofile.setPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);

load the existing profile in which you had pre-set up the desired behavior for the push notifications for this site:
- manually open jabong.com and choose the desired push notification value
- go to Help->Troubleshooting Information
- open the "Profile Folder" and copy path to it (or its name)
- load this profile when starting selenium driver

FYI, when you configure push notifications in the browser, Firefox inserts/updates a site-specific record inside permissions.sqlite SQLite database file which you can find inside the profile directory.
