I am trying to notify the background when the pop up has been closed.
It does not seem that there is an event in the API to which I can
subscribe and I have tried sending messages via a function attached to
window.onbeforeunload but, that event does not seem to fire in the pop
up. Is there a way I can notify the background that the pop up has
been or is being closed?

Have you tried window.onunload?

I have tried onunload. I am have tested this using a port and using
chrome.extension.sendRequest. Both of these messaging patterns work
otherwise before the unload event. I think I have ruled out messaging
as the potential issue. So, the event seems to be the issue. I could
see onbeforeunload being disabled because it typically creates a
dialog in normal instances which does not seem to be allowed in
general from a popup. Summarizing, the event seems to be the issue and
I have tried before and on unload.

onunload works, and I figure that onbeforeunload would work. You can definitely use chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage() to interact with the background page in an onunload listener.

Exactly what I was about to send.

That is odd. I can't get onunload to work with either the port or
sendRequest.

No, do not use sendRequest/port, use chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage() directly.
It will give you the global (window) object of the background page and you can do whatever you want with it.
