Can PWA have push notifications on iOS?

Nope, Apple does not allow push notifications on iOS. You will have to fall back to SMS instead.

Do progressive web apps support push notifications?

Note that you must ensure the browser itself has notifications turned on at the OS level, otherwise notifications will automatically be blocked. The PWA features work on all major platforms: Mac, Windows, Android, but notably not iOS currently.

Does iOS allow progressive Web Apps?

You can use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for a fast web experience on your computer or mobile device. You can install the PWA for faster access and additional functionality, like more storage for content to use offline. Chrome for iOS does not support PWAs.

All the leading browsers with the exception of Safari on iOS web push API. While Safari does support push notifications on Mac OS, there is no green signal for push notification iOS.Read full article here.

Push notification support for iOS Safari not added by Apple yet. So you need wait until support gets added. or you can think about alternatives like showing the notifications as alters/pop ups/notification center in iOS PWA.
