The following example shows how tell if a GATT characteristic supports value change notifications.

let device = await navigator.bluetooth.requestDevice({
  filters: [{ services: ["heart_rate"] }],
});
let gatt = await device.gatt.connect();
let service = await gatt.getPrimaryService("heart_rate");
let characteristic = await service.getCharacteristic("heart_rate_measurement");
if (characteristic.properties.notify) {
  characteristic.addEventListener(
    "characteristicvaluechanged",
    async (event) => {
      console.log(`Received heart rate measurement: ${event.target.value}`);
    },
  );
  await characteristic.startNotifications();
}
