Closing a chrome-extension notification using JavaScript

I am creating an google-chrome-extension which has html notifications. There will be a "close" button on it. Is there anyw开发者_Go百科ay to make the notification close on the button click? I have already tried window.close(), but it does not seem to work in Chrome.

window.close(); should work for you, check out the Chrome/Silver Bird code as there is a close link on these that works and might point you towards what you're doing differently...
