I am sure that you might have faced notification bar in Selenium while working with Chrome Browser. In this article, I will guide you how to Disable Chrome notifications Selenium webdriver.
In previous, post we also discussed how to disable developer option mode in Selenium.
If you have not faced any scenario like this then check below screenshot to check how it looks.
Program to Disable Chrome notifications Selenium Webdriver
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class HandlePopup {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Create object of HashMap Class
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
// Set the notification setting it will override the default setting
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
// Create object of ChromeOption class
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
// Set the experimental option
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
// pass the options object in Chrome driver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("urid");
driver.findElement(By.id("pass")).sendKeys("urpass");
driver.findElement(By.id("loginbutton")).click();
}
}

Hi Sunil,
Just want to know that is there any SSO/other auth type required to login into application because I’ve seen this scenario some applications. Usually in local env, SSO works and no need to take care of login page but while executing on remote machines, it requires username and password as authentication.

Hi Mukesh, All the solutions available online are for scenario where user gets notification as soon as webpage appears. In my case, I want to handle notification after opening webpage and performing many steps. I am actually clicking on record audio button on the page and then I need to allow. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
Hi Meet,
As of now, Selenium doesn’t allow to notofication pop up as per your requirement beacuse these kind of notification pop up doeosn’t come on Web UI. You can look chromeoptions for allow option for notification pop up.
Hello
How do you block geolocation?
Hi Brian,
Try with this chrome option options.addArguments(“–disable-geolocation”) and please reply back.
Hi Mukesh,
In interviews they demand each and every line explanation of the code.And also i cannot understand the code.Can u please explain the code that u have written??
Hi Shambo,
It is better if you do some project work in order to automate a web application. Then only you will gain some knowledge and feel confident.
Hello Mukesh,
Can you please explain me “options.setExperimentalOption(“prefs”, prefs);”
Hi Natasha,
Using this we can change/set default behavior of chrome browser. Set as many options you want and put them in hashmap. Later on using above statement, set all those options in one shot.
thank you, Mukesh.
Hi Natasha,
Thanks for your reply comments

Hi Mukesh,
Can you please explain the line: prefs.put(“profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications”, 2);
I mean what does the number 2 in the above line specifies ?
0- Default
1- Allow
2- Block
I want to allow the popup & for that I am setting it to 1, but it didn’t work for me.
Is there any other solution for this?

I have 1 query related to the Sikuli. 1 of my colleagues has used this method to drag and drop a file from the local folder in the system to the application. But he has used the image as path and then later gave the commands such as driver.doubleclick(..); but I want to know it from you clearly on how to use this method. Kindly guide me to the scenario where it is required for us to drag a file from a local folder to the web application. also please let me know other uses of Sikuli and also how we configure it.
Hi Fareed, sure I will make one post on this.
