The browser push APIs do require HTTPS, since browsers refuse to install service workers otherwise (which is required for them to function...). That said, the demo is hosted over plain HTTP, and seems to work for me (Chrome 50, Linux).

These are not actual "push" notifications, they are desktop notifications. Different functionality, and no service workers.
