Current behavior:
When trying to access Navigator.serviceWorker() from inside the app (any .ts file such as app.component.ts), I get the following error:

Property 'serviceWorker' does not exist on type 'Navigator'.

Expected behavior:
property serviceWorker exists and also imported by ionic 2 using sw-toolbox, why I can access it only from the index.html as mentioned in the documentation. Why I can't access the service worker from inside my app?

Related code:

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator && 'PushManager' in window) {
      console.log(navigator.serviceWorker);
