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.
