Web apps have supported push notifications for a long time now. I think even Safari supports them now.

Those aren’t the same, they require the browser to be open.
I don’t know if that means it works with a tab in the background though if the browser is open but you aren’t on their page, but it’d make sense if it did work that way.

That’s the same with every Android app, though. If you’re not using your phone some apps are put to sleep, which also stops their notifications. Very common on Samsung phones especially. You can usually add an app (or installed PWA) to a list of apps that you don’t want to sleep.
