Actionable Notification - Launch other Android app action

Feature Requests
1

for a few use cases, it would be nice to be able to launch other apps via “actionable notificaitions”

Prime example, doorbell cameras.
Home Assistant does not have the ability to do return audio for “talk-back”

I have hass set to notify me when the doorbell is pushed,
i have Hass snap a photo using frigate, face detection with deepstacks,
notify my android phone with the output.
i can click on the notification and go do the camera lovelace card.

I cannot talk to the person at the door with Hass.
thats fine.

What I would love to do is set the notification actionable button, or default notification clickaction to open another app on the phone.
com.nest.android

# current config
clickAction: /lovelace/doorbell-cam
image: /media/local/snapshots/deepstack_face_blueiris_doorbell_latest.jpg
entity_id: camera.doorbell
actions:
  - action: URI
    title: Open Camera
    uri: /lovelace/doorbell-cam

#proposed config
clickAction: com.nest.android
image: /media/local/snapshots/deepstack_face_blueiris_doorbell_latest.jpg
entity_id: camera.doorbell
actions:
  - action: URI
    title: Open Camera
    uri: com.nest.android

not sure if this helps

and before someone asks,

the Nest app notification is slow. people are gone before the message shows up.
Nest app home/away detection sucks, and only notifies phone if nobody is home.
and home assistant allows better rules…

This is already possible.

- action: "URI"
  title: "Open Twitter"
  # Name of package for application you would like to open
  uri: "app://com.twitter.android"

So you would be using

uri: "app://com.nest.android"
