Why would I use this rather than the notifications api? To support IE? Any other reason?

Good question. I feel the notification APIs are not mature enough, plus lacking in say Firefox and IE. Plus you have more customization over notifications by not using the native API. Hopefully someday this will improve and be better supported and we can use that instead.

Firefox doesn't support the notifications API either. Currently only Webkit browsers do.

Actually, only Chrome does.
