I'm developing a progressive web application (PWA) that will eventually send notifications to users.
I already know that I'm able to send push notifications (like in any regular app), as explained in the following blog post: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/codelabs/push-notifications/?hl=en-us.
I also know that I can add a PWA to the home screen, by creating a simple manifest file (https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2014/11/Support-for-installable-web-apps-with-webapp-manifest-in-chrome-38-for-Android).
However, after having the app in home screen, I would like to add a "hint" to user, letting him know that he has to access the application. A great way to do that is doing something like a "badge notification" (as showed in Facebook icon on the image below).
Is it possible to add this kind of behavior using progressive web applications?

As Josh Lee pointed out in Is there a way to add badge notifications using progressive web apps (PWA)?, there are some discussions about the subject on the chromium team.
Looking at the discussion:
FYI, the notification indicators are being pushed to M-71.
and
Thanks for the heads up. That's fine for us because while we hope to have this testable behind a flag in M70, there's no way we'll be launching the API before (at least) M71.
So, maybe, at least for now, it seems that it's not possible to add badge notifications for PWAs, but maybe in the future we'll be able to do that.
