TypeError: "browser.notifications is undefined"?

Was messing around with Firefox browser extensions today, but came across an issue. I was trying out the notifications, but I am getting the error

"TypeError: "browser.notifications is undefined"

My manifest.json is requesting the notifications permission. I am using browser.notifications.create

No notification is showing up.

Any ideas? Apologies if this is a simple question.

Turns out the issue was that I was trying to run the notification from my content script, didn't even realize. Notifications must be sent from a background script. Thanks!

What you need is Notification API

To check the current permission 

Notification.permission

To create Notification 

 new Notification("Hi there!");

I recommend you have a look on the API first
