Explanation:

In the Notifications API, the Notification.requestPermission() method is called on the actual Notification constructor itself — it is a static method:

[let promise = Notification.requestPermission();]

The Notification.close() method on the other hand, is an instance method — it is called on an specific notification object instance to close the system notification it represents:

[ let myNotification = new Notification('This is my notification');

myNotification.close();]
