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

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.
