Google Chrome Notifications in Windows Action Center Won't Load Pages When Clicked

With the most recent update to Google Chrome, push notifications are now in the Action Center.  This would be fine, if clicking said push notifications actually opened the page referred to IN the notification (example would be YouTube video notifications for subscribed channels).  Instead, it just makes the notification disappear.  How can this be fixed?  At it is, seeing a notification for something and then having to go manually search for the item is beyond useless, and defeats the entire purpose of a push notification.  Thanks for any assistance provided in advance!

    It seems that this has been fixed in Chrome 76 which has been released today (7/30). I couldn't find any proof in a list of changes included in the release, but it started working for me now.

    The simple answer for this is to turn off the Chrome setting for the windows activity center.

    To do this just enter the following into Chrome:

    chrome://flags/#enable-native-notifications

    Then set the 'Enable Native Connections' setting to 'Disabled'

    How does this "activate" the notifications exactly? Or do you mean we should do all that, reboot and then re-activate everything?

    To solve this problem, your serviceworker's code should look like this:

    self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {

        var payload = JSON.parse(event.data.text());

        event.waitUntil(

            self.registration.showNotification(payload.title, {

                body: payload.body,

                data: payload,

                icon: payload.icon,

                image: payload.image,

                requireInteraction: true,

        renotify: false,

    tag: 'same_tag_for_all_notifications',

            })

        );

    });

    You must set renotify to false and use the same tag for all notifications. This is a half-**** solution, because it works only when a user receives two or more notifications. If they receive just one notification and it goes away into Action Center, it won't open.

    I faced the same issue for almost all websites except Gmail. only clicking the last notification would fire the click event and open the notification link. I`m developing a web app which requires web push notification service so after a few days of investigation I managed to make it work for my app by using the tag and renotify options with ServiceWorkerRegistration.showNotification and replacing previous notification with the new one ( Gmail also does this )
