That wouldn't work at all. You'd have to be sitting there with your phone unlocked, in view of that page on Safari, watching it until your battery died (which would happen quickly).
I suppose that wouldn't work at all if you need immediate updates of drone attacks (so that you can respond in some way?) I'm questioning the need for push notifications rather than trying to propose an exact equivalent.
I suppose the point of it is that your phone buzzes when a drone strikes. That‘s the dramaturgy of it. A buzzing phone tells you: something has happened. But this time it’s not your alarm clock, or your friend texting: it’s knowing that a bom has dropped. This then gives an eerie sense of awareness of/relation to something that normally is far away and abstract.
(of course, the strike was not really that instant, but that at least is the suggestion of it, by linking it to the instantaneous feeling push notifications).
