PushManager.unregister()

Deprecated
This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Do not use it in old or new projects. Pages or Web apps using it may break at any time.

Syntax

var request = navigator.push.unregister(pushEndpoint);

Properties

pushEndpoint

If the method call is successful, the request's result will be a PushRegistration object representing the endpoint that has been unregistered.

PushRegistration

Those objects are anonymous JavaScript objects with the following properties:

pushEndpoint
A string representing the URL of the unregistered endpoint.
version

Example

var req = navigator.push.unregister(pushEndpoint);

req.onsuccess = function(e) {
  var endpoint = req.result;
  debug("Unregistered endpoint: " + endpoint );
}

req.onerror = function(e) {
  debug("Error unregistering the endpoint: " + JSON.stringify(e));
}
