css - Position element at bottom right corner of current window

Question

I'm using the following code to send push notifications to the user...

document.triggerNotification = function (type, message) {
    jQuery(document.body).append("<div class='push-notification hide push-"+type+"' id='notification'>"+message+"</div>");
    jQuery('#notification').show().fadeOut(1200, function () {
        jQuery('#notification').remove();
    });
}

The problem is that the element is not shown at the bottom right corner of where my screen is currently placed, it's showing at the bottom right corner of where the page originally loaded. I'm using the following CSS:

.push-notification {
    background-color: #000;
    position: absolute;
    right: 20px;
    bottom: 20px;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 15px 15px 15px 30px;
    -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: 7px center;
    opacity: 0.7;
    filter: alpha(opacity=70);
    vertical-align: middle;
    box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #000;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #000;
    -moz-box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #000;
}
    .push-check {
        background-image: url(/image/icons/accept.png);
    }
    .push-x {
        background-image: url(/image/icons/accept.png);
    }

Ideally, if a user starts scrolling while the message is there it'd be nice of the element could move with it.
