I am looking for a way to show a kind of orange Alert on the Chrome icon to notify that a notification has been received. I have seen other questions with the same content, but the solutions have not worked for me.

show orange Windows taskbar icon orange when a Chrome Packaged app gets a notification

I have tried with

var appWindow = chrome.app.window.current();
appWindow.drawAttention();

But it doesn't work, I'm not doing something wrong

Thanks and greetings

  • Is this a Chrome extension? Or just a normal webpage? – Ivar Feb 14 '22 at 08:51

  • Does this answer your question? [Draw a user's attention back to a tab](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6753502/draw-a-users-attention-back-to-a-tab) or even better: [Make browser window blink in task Bar](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37122/make-browser-window-blink-in-task-bar) – Ivar Feb 14 '22 at 08:59

    The above code only works inside extensions is my guess. Anyway, you can show a notification, but that's it. Given that it appears in a pretty big box on screen, even while the user has another application focused, that should be enough I guess? –  Feb 14 '22 at 09:00
  • No Ivar, I already have the notification issue, what I want is for the browser icon to somehow show me that there is a pending message, so I had thought of showing the icon with the typical orange warning background. With the alert if you get a kind of notice on the icon when you are not on the page, but it is on the icon of the tab and not of the browser – Blas Piris Feb 14 '22 at 09:05
  • @BlasPiris I understand, but that's simply not possible from a regular web page. Only from extensions. – Ivar Feb 14 '22 at 09:07
