How to disable push-notifications using Selenium for Firefox and Chrome?

by

If your usecase is to disable the notification following are the options :

  • To disable Push Notification in Firefox browser client take help of a FirefoxProfile and pass the Keys dom.webnotifications.enabled and dom.push.enabled along with the desired Value as false :

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile testprofile = profile.getProfile("debanjan");
testprofile.setPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
testprofile.setPreference("dom.push.enabled", false);
DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, testprofile);
FirefoxOptions opt = new FirefoxOptions();
opt.merge(dc);
WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver(opt);
driver.get("https://www.ndtv.com/");

Note : This method uses an existing FirefoxProfile by the name debanjan stored in my local system which was created following the documentation at Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows

  • To disable notification in Chrome browser client take help of a setExperimentalOption() to pass a HashMap containing profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications with Value as 2 :

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe");
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
prefs.put("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.ndtv.com/");
