Is it possible to implement IPhone's push notification service for a Webapp that has an icon on the "desktop"? If so how?

+1  A: 

No, it's not possible. It's only for cocoa touch (AppStore) apps. If you want more info, take a look on the documentation :

A: 

That depends on exactly what you mean by Webapp that has an icon on the "desktop"?

No, if you're referring to a webapp where you have saved a link with Add to Home screen as per this Apple instruction.

Yes, if your webapp is a thin CocoaTouch shell using webkit.
