+Use desktop notifications to notify users that something
+important has happened.
+Notifications appear outside the browser window.
+As the following snapshots show,
+the details of how notifications look
+and where they're shown depend on the platform.

+<p>
+You create the notification window
+using a bit of JavaScript and, optionally,
+an HTML page packaged inside your extension.
+</p>
+<h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2>
+<p>
+You can request the notification permission
+in the <a href="manifest.html">extension manifest</a>,
+like this:
+</p>
+<pre>{
+  "name": "My extension",
+  ...
+<b>  "permissions": [
+    "notifications"
+  ]</b>,
+  ...
+}</pre>
+<p class="note">
+<b>Note:</b> Extensions that declare
+the <code>notifications</code> permission
+are always allowed to create notifications.
+There is no need to call
+<code>webkitNotifications.checkPermission()</code>.
+</p>
+<h2 id="communication">Communicating with other views</h2>
+<p>
+You can communicate between a notification
+and other views in your extension using
+<a href="extension.html#method-getBackgroundPage">getBackgroundPage()</a> and
+<a href="extension.html#method-getViews">getViews()</a>. For example:
+</p>
+<pre>
+// Inside a notification...
+chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().doThing();
+// From the background page...
+chrome.extension.getViews({type:"notification"}).forEach(function(win) {
+  win.doOtherThing();
+});
+</pre>
+<h2 id="examples"> Examples </h2>
+<p>
+You can find a simple example
+of using notifications in the
+<a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/notifications/">examples/api/notifications</a>
+directory.
+For other examples
+and for help in viewing the source code,
+see <a href="samples.html">Samples</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Also see html5rocks.com's
+<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/notifications/quick/">notifications tutorial</a>.
+Ignore the permission-related code;
+it's unnecessary if you declare the "notifications" permission.
+</p>
+<h2 id="api">API</h2>
+<p>
+The desktop notification API for extensions
+is the same one that
+is available to normal web pages.
+As the following code shows,
+you first create either a simple text notification
+or an HTML notification,
+and then you show the notification.
+</p>
+<pre>
+// Create a simple text notification:
+var notification = webkitNotifications.createNotification(
+  '48.png',  // icon url - can be relative
+  'Hello!',  // notification title
+  'Lorem ipsum...'  // notification body text
+);
+// Or create an HTML notification:
+var notification = webkitNotifications.createHTMLNotification(
+  'notification.html'  // html url - can be relative
+);
+// Then show the notification.
+notification.show();
+</pre>
