I used to do that with Pushbullet ([http://pushbullet.com](http://pushbullet.com)) with my PHP app.  
PushBullet support send notification to android, iOS, Chrome/firefox browser and Windows Phone (unoffically support) by create HTTP request .  
But I’m a noob with ruby so…  
But I think make a hook when new notification arrive …

As I’m noob with ruby so I don’t know how to do that.  
Here is pushbullet api documentation [Pushbullet API](https://docs.pushbullet.com/http/)

Facebook started sending push notifications from chrome a few days back on my Android device.

I guess this is a feature we want for Discourse as well?
