Rich Push Notifications: Send Images, Video, and Audio

Push Notifications now support optional media.

Attach an image, video, or audio file to the notification itself so you can press and hold to preview media directly from the notification, then tap through to open the linked content.

This is a good fit for agent outputs, QA review flows, design previews, generated voice overs, and any backend workflow where the notification should carry the actual result, not just a line of text.

What’s new

• New optional media field for push notifications.
• Send direct image, video, or audio URLs in the payload.
• Press and hold to preview the media directly from the notification.
• media can be combined with redirection.
• If redirection is omitted, tapping the notification opens the media URL.

What will work

• direct image URL: .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.
• direct audio file URL: .mp3, .m4a, etc.
• direct video file URL: .mp4, .mov, etc.
• URL that responds with a proper media Content-Type, even if the path has no extension

Example payload

{
  "title": "Homepage ready",
  "message": "Your agent finished the redesign.",
  "media": "https://cdn.example.com/output/homepage-v2.png",
  "redirection": "https://github.com/acme/web/pull/482"
}
