Programmatic click on JS Notification

Question

I'm trying to test my webapp where I show a js Notification: new Notification("Title"). Then I need to test if certain behaviour happens when I click on it. How can I simulate a user click on the notification in javascript?

Store notification object you get after the construction.Then you can do anything

  var notification = new Notification('test', {
    icon: 'http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackexchange/img/logos/so/so-icon.png',
    body: 'this is body of the notification'
  });                                  

  notification.onclick = function() { alert('got clicked'); }  //handler   

  var event = new Event('click');        //event creation 
  notification.dispatchEvent(event);     //triggering
