Hi Amit,

Yes, underneath the hood we are using native browser [push notifications](https://developers.google.com/web/ilt/pwa/introduction-to-push-notifications). The (per-browser) client subscriptions is stored in the `push_subscriptions` table.

(Note, this depends on if you are on mobile or desktop: on desktop notifications, there is nothing to store, as it uses the browser [notification api](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification). Only mobile notfications need to be stored server-side in the `push_subscriptions` table)
