Summary

Push notifications from Claude Code Remote Control arrive silently on iPhone — no sound and no vibration, regardless of iOS notification settings.

Environment

  • Device: iPhone 15 Pro (iOS)
  • Claude app: latest version
  • Feature: Remote Control (push notifications via PushNotification tool)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect iPhone to Claude Code via Remote Control
  2. Trigger a push notification (e.g., via PushNotification tool or long-running task completion)
  3. Observe notification arrives in notification center with no sound or vibration

Expected Behavior

Notification arrives with sound and/or vibration, consistent with other apps.

Actual Behavior

Notification arrives silently. No sound, no vibration.

What I've Tried

  • Disabled Focus/Do Not Disturb mode
  • Disabled "Attention Aware Features"
  • Verified Claude app notification settings: Banner, Sound, Badge all enabled
  • Restarted iPhone and Claude app
  • All other apps with same settings produce sound + vibration normally

Notes

The notification payload appears to be sent as silent — iOS settings alone cannot override this. The app likely needs to include sound and/or badge in the APNs payload.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by modifying the APNs payload to include sound and/or badge parameters to override the silent notification behavior.

Guidance

  • Verify the APNs payload sent by the PushNotification tool to confirm it is being sent as silent.
  • Check the Claude app's server-side implementation to ensure it is correctly formatting the APNs payload with the required sound and/or badge parameters.
  • Test the notification with a modified payload including sound and/or badge to confirm the issue is resolved.
  • Review Apple's documentation on APNs payload formatting to ensure compliance with iOS notification guidelines.

Example

{
  "aps": {
    "alert": "Notification message",
    "sound": "default",
    "badge": 1
  }
}

This example payload includes the sound and badge parameters, which should trigger a sound and update the app's badge count on the iPhone.

Notes

The solution relies on modifying the APNs payload, which may require updates to the server-side implementation of the PushNotification tool or the Claude app.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by modifying the APNs payload to include sound and/or badge parameters, as this directly addresses the identified issue and should resolve the silent notification behavior.
