The documentation about de notifications is only for IOS.

It’s not possible yet to sens actionable notification with the android app.
The new functions sector is telling something else:
- New: Actionable Notifications.
- New: Request location update via push notification
- Expand widget to allow passing more than just entity ids.
- Full-screen notch fixes

Ou wow that’s nice, didn’t see that one yet (was only released yesterday as far as I can see). However I can imagine that it works the same way as with the IOS app. Will for sure test this myself, was waiting for this 
Yes tried this and it seems to work.
There seems to be maximum 3 action, my 4:th one dont show up.
message: This is a actionable notification test message!
title: Test notification
data:
actions:
- action: trigger_1
title: T1
- action: trigger_2
title: T2
- action: trigger_3
title: T3
- action: trigger_4
title: T4
Automation to react on the triggers.
automation:
- alias: React on notification trigger 1
trigger:
- event_data:
action: trigger_1
event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
platform: event
action:
- service: persistent_notification.create
data:
message: This was Trigger 1
title: Test notification
notification_id: 1234
- alias: React on notification trigger 2
trigger:
- event_data:
action: trigger_2
event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
platform: event
action:
- service: persistent_notification.create
data:
message: This was Trigger 2
title: Test notification
notification_id: 1234
- alias: React on notification trigger 3
trigger:
- event_data:
action: trigger_3
event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
platform: event
action:
- service: persistent_notification.create
data:
message: This was Trigger 3
title: Test notification
notification_id: 1234

Has this update broken anyone else’s notifications where an image is used?
Previously I was using the following structure
- service: notify.all_mobile
data:
title: "Text"
message: "Message"
data:
android:
notification:
image: "ImageURL"
This no longer works correctly with 1.6 installed - I see the image but no title or text.
Some messing around in services shows that this works:
- service: notify.all_mobile
data:
title: "Text"
message: "Message"
data:
android:
notification:
title: "Text"
body: "Message"
image: "ImageURL"
Before I start re-working all my automations to resolve this, have I missed something obvious?
Took a quick look at the code and it only supports 3 actions.
This must be a new bug, the first massage and title will not show in the notification, but it seems there have to be atleast a message before the data:
Yeah, I’ve added my comments to the issue on github:
EDIT looks like my notifications were incorrectly setup initially - see my post below
Has anyone been able to have both actions and an image?
From comments on the github issue I linked to:
title: 'Title Text'
message: 'Body Text'
data:
actions:
- action: test
title: Click Me
data:
image: 'imageUrl'
I’d set my image related notifications up incorrectly (using unsupported elements) is why mine broke with this app update.
I’ve now adjusted them using the above example (minus actionable elements as I need to plan them out for now) and everything is functioning as expected on my system.
EDIT
using
data:
data:
image: 'imageURL'
not working as of Mon am UK time, now using:
title: 'Title Text'
message: 'Body Text'
data:
image: 'imageUrl'
Excellent news, should be able to ditch fcm-android now and just have a single notification system.
Edit: Works a treat, just remember to open the app once on the relevant device after updating or it won’t work.
This worked for me:
message: "Alert"
title: "test"
data:
actions:
- action: "TEST"
title: "click me"
image: "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0f/7b/fa/0f7bfa4e6775b5977694a6036fc85b48.png"

Nice … my previous non-functioning actions (from HTML5 Push) are now working with just changing the event type.
A huge nice addition to the android app, was just puzzling when you use a data_template in your automation. The best part of all: if I forward the notification to my Galaxy Watch Active 2, I can also start the action from the watch

Just in case anyone needs it, the formatting for a actionable notification if you are using node-red is:
{
"message": "Did you feed the cats!",
"title": "Feed the cats",
"data": {
"actions": [
{
"action": "cat_yes",
"title": "Yes"
},
{
"action": "cat_no",
"title": "No"
}
]
}
}

Thanks for this! I just realized the actions work on my Fitbit Versa 2 as well!

Any pointers on how to fetch the response of the action in Node-Red? I have an “events: all” node in my flow, but i don’t see anything returning from my android phone in the debugger, so i have no clue on how to trigger anything based on the selected action in the notification…
i got it working. I had set the “events all” listener to “mobile_app_notification_action” and send the output to a debug node so i could see the actual payload. I could then use a switch that listens to the msg.payload.event.action and create my triggers to the different action messages
