Clear_notification no longer works with remote push on iOS

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

I’m having an issue with clear_notification on iOS. It used to work reliably for me, but it no longer clears the notification.

My versions:

  • Home Assistant Server: 2026.8.2
  • Home Assistant Companion iOS: 2026.7.4

I’m using the documented syntax:

Send notification:

action: notify.mobile_app_mais_iphone
data:
  title: "Test 2"
  message: "Tagged notification test"
  data:
    tag: "simple_test"

The notification is received correctly.

Then I send:

action: notify.mobile_app_mais_iphone
data:
  message: "clear_notification"
  data:
    tag: "simple_test"

But the notification remains on the iPhone.

I’ve verified that the tag is identical in both calls.

What is strange is that I remember this working reliably in the past with remote push, so I don’t think this is a configuration issue.

I’ve also seen GitHub issue #4304, which seems to describe the same problem. There are reports there of different behavior depending on the Companion App version, but I’m wondering if anyone has found a reliable workaround for remote push on the current 2026.x versions.

Anybody else experience the same issue?
