Do iOS Safari and/or Microsoft Edge support push notifications?

From the research I've done, I cannot find any concrete answers to this question. The desktop version of Safari has supported this functionality for some time, but does the iOS version also natively support pushing notifications from websites? If not is there an alternative solution?

I also cannot find anything on Microsoft Edge supporting this function either. I feel like I read that at one point in time, but I'm having a hard time finding anything now.
