Android Notification Action Buttons

Warning

Developer involvement will be required

Action buttons allow users to interact directly with a notification by tapping a predefined button. Each button performs a distinct action without opening the app’s main UI, enabling fast and contextual responses. They’re especially useful for time-sensitive or routine interactions, like “Mark as read”, “Snooze”, or “Reply”. These buttons appear directly in the notification on both Android and iOS, and are configured ahead of time via the CMS. You define the available buttons (label and internal name), and then assign one or more of them to a specific notification during creation.
Tapping a button triggers a broadcast or service in the app

Info

Use action buttons to reduce friction, streamline user flows, and increase engagement with your notifications.

Warning

  • Notification action buttons are immutable after creation. To change their settings, you need to delete the existing action button and create a new one. It's better to create a new action button instead of deleting currently existing button.
  • Developer needs to know name and action id in order to handle it correctly in your application.
