Example

  event.waitUntil(clients.matchAll({
    type: "window"
  }).then(function(clientList) {
    for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; i++) {
      var client = clientList[i];
      if (client.url == '/' && 'focus' in client) {
        if(visibilityState === 'hidden')
          return client.focus();
        }
      }
    }
    if (clients.openWindow)
      return clients.openWindow('/');
  }));
});
