How to obtain the email of a user in the example push-messaging-roundtrip-sample about chrome-extensions-samples HOT 5 CLOSED

The Push Messaging system does not directly provide any way to get the email of the user, all that you get is a Channel ID. That being said, you could always ask, the user to enter their email, and send it to your server out of band when you send the Channel ID.

Well the example I use of push messaging uses the authenticacion and if I am not logged on the browser(chrome) the application asks for that, but I don't how to get that account, or do you mean I have to add some ohter function to ask the user enter the email??

First of all, Push Messaging will only work if the user is logged into the browser.

There may be some chrome API that you can use to get the email name of the logged in user, you can check for one. If you do not find one, and you need the users email, I would recommend showing the user a dialog and asking them to give you their email name.
