A few notes regarding this feature. As far as I saw, it was dropped from the HTML 5 specification, so it might not be supported in all of the browsers - ever. Also, watch out - you cannot call "webkitNotifications.requestPermission(callback)" from the Developer Tools, it has to be called as a result of a click. It will do nothing if it does not. Star this bug for progress - crbug.com/31736. The user interface is not 100% done yet, in my opinion, due to this bug - crbug.com/31778.

Hmm, I didn't realize it had been dropped from the specification, that's very disappointing! I hope Chrome is able to do the same as it has with other features (lets talk javascript speed?) and implement it and have all other browsers follow suit... Either way we'll have to wait and see; very excited to see it already implemented on Win and set for the m5 builds of Linux and Mac! P.S. I tried out Chrowety, was very pleased when the notifications appeared; this ads a whole new dimension for extensions to interact with the user.

I have not seen any issue regarding this, so search the issue tracker yourself (crbug.com) and if you cannot find one, file one (new.crbug.com).
But - I do believe this will not be implemented, because the whole idea of Desktop Notifications is to alert the user that a website is trying to say something and that the user should check out the website for more details.
