Push notifications, <a href="https://xenforo.com/community/threads/push-notifications.154592/">introduced in XenForo 2.1</a>, will also send alerts through your browser should you choose to receive them, but the app also allows you to know just how many alerts there are at a glance without ever having to open the app, and I think you have more control over exactly how you wish to receive those alerts.
