In our previous post about Web Push Notifications, We explained how Marketers can boost customer engagement by sending push notifications which have a copy of few words with emoji and a small 192 * 192 brand image logo. But from Chrome 56 on wards, Marketers can now add rich content within a push notification including big images, GIF s, videos. Both Desktop and Android versions of Chrome browser provide support for this feature.

Google Chrome rich push notifications have been used for a while in both Android and iOS native apps. But now this is the first time that this feature has been extended to Chrome Push Notifications.
