Web/API/PushManager/unregister

DeprecatedThis feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The unregister() method was used to ask the system to unregister and delete the specified endpoint. In the updated API, a subscription is can be unregistered via the PushSubscription.unsubscribe() method.

Syntax

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

Properties

pushEndpoint: A pushEndpoint to be unregistered.

Return

A [[../../../../Archive/B2G_OS/API/DOMRequest|DOMRequest]] object to handle the success or failure of the method call.

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: Undefined when unregister.onsuccess is called.

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));
}
