Do we REALLY need to sign up with some 3rd party service just to be able to receive push notifications because firefox mobile turns into petrified wood when you arent looking at it?

I JUST FIND IT TO BE RIDICULOUS HOW FIREFOX JUST -REFUSES- TO BE ABLE TO SHOW NOTIFICATIONS WHEN PHONE IS LOCKED LIKE LITERALLY ANY OTHER APP CAN
ANY OTHER APP
You know notifications pass thru google servers thru internet and aren't actually sent directly from the app to your phone screen lock?
Firefox won't pay API access to google so any random webpage can send you a notification.
Its the site responsability to have some kind of app so they can sent you notifications.
Im trying to pop them off from a userscript running on a page.
Modern mobile OS's kill process so fast to save on battery anon, it would be better to have a server at home running whatever you wan't to do and sent you an email/sms to your phone when something you need happen.
>Modern mobile OS's kill process so fast
I know. But its a hard problem im trying to solve.
I like having my phone actually be a computer (because it.. it freakin is dangit)
There is nothing to solve, its already solved, just develop your own app and use the apis for making background processes that aren't closed easily.
I think apps are ridiculous. Im totally against them. Everything should be in the browser. Everything. Thats what browsers are for.
Well, sucks to be you, unless you make your own app you cannot modify another one sleeping behavior. Hell most apps are glorified page wrappers, you could do that.
>Well, sucks to be you,
No one said trailblazing was easy.
You fricking idiot kek.
Of course firefox has its own push notification service, you fricking moron, it's a web standard.
What OP says is probably a background process issue.
>background process issue
Already addressed here
I don't care. Just pointing out that you're wrong on the firefox thing. moron.
Oh wow nice internet points gained anon, keep up
>trailblazing
Its the other way around, older version of android allowed that without problems, in 4.3 I had plenty of background shit running while the battery had charge. Every new release started clamping down on background processes, so you won't be able to achieve what has been now deprecated.
>Its the other way around
Im afraid you are right. Im basically trying to make a web browser work again in the year 2024.
Its so absurd.
Just use Google chrome like a normal person, moron
Are you saying that will resolve the issue at hand?

Don't forget these android jeets literally broke termux because muh heckin power saving, chud. GNU can't save phones soon enough.
>ignores everything OP said..
>just dont do what you want to do bro!
>its that easy to dp!
i dont want to be that guy but why on earth would you want notifications to appear on your lock screen?
if it matters that much to you then you probably already look at your phone every 5 minutes anyway even without notifications thus rendering the ability to display them on the lock screen pointless.
(You)s.
And I dont use apps. Just the browser and userscripts. But i need a notification that will work. Best i can think of is using nosleep.js in a tampermonkey script to keep webpage chugging in background. Thats actually what im working on trying now.
And its not about showing on the lock screen, i just want the phone to vibrate and act like it does for text messages, but for (You)s and only using the browser and not some crappo broken app.. and Im the only man in the world currently working on this problem.
So show some respect im very important in my field.
ITT: morons that don't know how push notifications/push API work.
Say something smart that is relevant and helpful regarding what is being discussed in this thread. (Protip that wasnt!)
No u, ya darn memer.
I wish Firefox mobile was better. I still think firefox's layout engine is better than Chrome's plus it has le adblock. It's still very buggy though, but honestly android power management and Google services are intentionally trying to sabotage anything running on your phone.
Yea i hear you. Could be better, but i dont see a better option for a mobile browser. I despise freaking apps that just make you start from scratch on everything and compartmentalize every single thing in life so you have no control over it all.
The freakin web browser should be able to work when phone is locked like any other app. Its ridic bros. Ridic. !
>heres you fitness app
>heres your email app
>heres your dating app
>heres your app app
Everything should be in the freakin browser. Everything should be a webpage with libraries to make it all as appy as you want it to be without the bloat and loss of control over the big picture.
