In this UX mockup it shows it working with gmail https://bug629280.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=520...

Is this API compatible with Chrome's implementation, or would Google have to add support in Gmail for Firefox?

GMail uses a old draft version of the API, and they check for the vendor-specific window.webkitNotification rather than the spec window.Notification, so a Firefox add-on or a GMail update is necessary.

Chrome has an old implementation but as far as I can tell also supports the new one

http://jsbin.com/notification/1/edit works in chrome and firefox

If apps are using the old spec they may need to switch before both browsers work

Gmail uses Webkit- prefixes in API and it thus cannot work yet with Firefox
