Notification from native Browser and Sailfish.WebView

Is there a way to allow the native Browser and Sailfish.WebView the use of Notifications?
Per default it seems to be forbidden, you can test it here:

All permissions are granted in Browser:

In Webview:

It looks like they are intended to already be enabled:

          pref("dom.max_child_script_run_time", 0);
          
          // plugins
          pref("plugin.disable", true);
          pref("dom.ipc.plugins.enabled", false);
          
          pref("plugins.click_to_play", true);
          // The default value for nsIPluginTag.enabledState (STATE_CLICKTOPLAY = 1)
          pref("plugin.default.state", 1);
          
          pref("notification.feature.enabled", true);
          pref("dom.webnotifications.enabled", true);
          
          // prevent tooltips from showing up
          pref("browser.chrome.toolbar_tips", false);
          pref("dom.indexedDB.warningQuota", 5);
          
          // prevent video elements from preloading too much data
          pref("media.preload.default", 1); // default to preload none
          pref("media.preload.auto", 2);    // preload metadata if preload=auto
          pref("media.cache_size", 32768);    // 32MB media cache

(but i agree they don’t work)

any news on this? I too have html5 websites that are intended to use notifications, i don’t really want to do the hassle of unifiedpush (which, does not work with default browser either?) and trigger notifications via a server from the outside, if the browser has a perfectly fine notification system?
