<p>{{SeeCompatTable}}{{ApiRef("Push API")}}</p>

<p>The <code>PushManager</code> interface of the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API">Push API</a> provides a way to receive notifications from third-party servers as well as request URLs for push notifications.</p>

<p>This interface is accessed via the {{domxref("ServiceWorkerRegistration.pushManager")}} property.</p>

<div class="note">
<p><strong>Note</strong>: This interface replaces functionality previously offered by the obsolete {{domxref("PushRegistrationManager")}} interface.</p>
</div>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.getSubscription()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Retrieves an existing push subscription. It returns a {{jsxref("Promise")}} that resolves to a {{domxref("PushSubscription")}} object containing details of an existing subscription. If no existing subscription exists, this resolves to a <code>null</code> value.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.permissionState()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns a {{jsxref("Promise")}} that resolves to the permission state of the current {{domxref("PushManager")}}, which will be one of <code>'granted'</code>, <code>'denied'</code>, or <code>'default'</code>.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.subscribe()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Subscribes to a push service. It returns a {{jsxref("Promise")}} that resolves to a {{domxref("PushSubscription")}} object containing details of a push subscription. A new push subscription is created if the current service worker does not have an existing subscription.</dd>
</dl>

<h3 id="Deprecated_methods">Deprecated methods</h3>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.hasPermission()")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns a {{jsxref("Promise")}} that resolves to the <code>PushPermissionStatus</code> of the requesting webapp, which will be one of <code>granted</code>, <code>denied</code>, or <code>default</code>. Replaced by {{domxref("PushManager.permissionState()")}}.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.register()")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Subscribes to a push subscription. Replaced by {{domxref("PushManager.subscribe()")}}.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.registrations()")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Retrieves existing push subscriptions. Replaced by {{domxref("PushManager.getSubscription()")}}.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("PushManager.unregister()")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>

        // During development it often helps to log errors to the
