I doubt it...

Even apps without notifications are still apps, because they can take additional data from users, sometimes even location and the whole address book.

Look at sites like reddit for exmaple, which purpusefully cripple the mobile web experience to get the user to install the app.

The web supports location and photo picker and camera APIs and most apps don't access your address book.
