It is called a browser. Usually comes integrated in all mobile operating systems...

That's strange. Could you explain how this works in a browser right now outside of Firefox OS.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Simple_Push

At the bottom it lists the support and I see all browsers with "Not Supported" and then this line "This API is currently available on Firefox OS only for any installed applications."

It is sad state of affairs.

Mozilla used to be about open standards.

Is there something about that document that is against open standards?

I'm not sure if that answered my question. Are you saying I can do that in a browser as you said? Or do I need Firefox OS for that?

Bleeding edge requires a bleeding edge browser.

If you want cross-device compatibility, use a mature API like Cordova.

Are you actually comparing a simple web hosted manifest file to compiling an application as a similar process?
