Is there a way to show desktop notifications even if Chrome closed?

Question

I'm developing a Google Chrome Extenstion, I wonder if there is anyway to show desktop notifications even if Chrome is closed, maybe some sort of background process or service? Kindly advice and guide me if it is not possible also. Thanks.

If you request a "background" permission your extension's background page will be able to show notifications even with Chrome windows closed.

When any installed hosted app, packaged app, or extension has "background" permission, Chrome runs (invisibly) as soon as the user logs into their computer—before the user launches Chrome. The "background" permission also makes Chrome continue running (even after its last window is closed) until the user explicitly quits Chrome.
