The close() method of the Notification interface is used to close/remove a previously displayed notification.

Syntax

Notification.close();

Parameters

None.

Returns

Void.

Examples

In the following snippet, we have a simple function that when called creates an options object and then a new notification. At the end of the function, it also calls close() inside a addEventListener() function to remove the notification when the relevant content has been read on the webpage.

function spawnNotification(theBody, theIcon, theTitle) {
  var options = {
    body: theBody,
    icon: theIcon
  };

  var n = new Notification(theTitle,options);
  document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', function() {
    if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') {
      // The tab has become visible so clear the now-stale Notification.
      n.close();
    }
  });
}
