Idea

Home Assistant iOS is adding support for custom notification icons in push payloads through fields such as notification_icon and icon_url. Once the iOS app and push relay support are fully available, local alerts could show task-specific icons instead of the default Home Assistant app icon.

Local direction

  • Confirm the iOS app release and payload support before changing Home Assistant YAML.
  • Update the shared notification script/package path to accept optional icon fields without changing existing notification behavior.
  • Start with high-signal alerts where icons add context, such as backup status, appliance completion, cameras, and health/coaching reminders.
  • Keep the implementation optional so existing Android/iOS notification flows continue to work unchanged.

Acceptance notes

  • Notification icon fields are documented in the local package/script comments or README if behavior changes.
  • A small set of high-value alerts includes meaningful icons.
  • Home Assistant config validation passes after any YAML changes.
