Chrome extension Desktop notification

Question

I am working on a chrome extension for desktop notification.Is there any way by which I can close the desktop notification after a specified time ?

Answer 1

If you have a reference of the notification object, you can use notification.cancel instead:

  setTimeout(function() { 
      notification.cancel(); 
  }, 5000);

References:

Answer 2

You can close it by running window.close() from notification's javascript (assuming your notification is a separated HTML file). So something like this:

setTimeout(function() {
    window.close();
}, 5000);

Answer 3

for me this worked

setTimeout(function() {
    notification.close();
}, 2000);
