I need to show an image whenever my application receive Notification.
Does Apple push notification support image sending?

If above thing is not possible can we show image from url on UIAlertview when we receive notification.

Images for notifications are limited to 1MB in size, and otherwise are restricted by native Android image support.
Push notifications are small, pop-up messages sent to a user's device by a mobile app that appear even when the app isn't open.
Apple does not offer a way to handle a notification that arrives when your app is closed (i.e. when the user has fully quit the application or the OS had decided to kill it while it is in the background). If this happens, the only way to handle the notification is to wait until it is opened by the user.
Each mobile app platform, such as iOS and Android, has its own OSPNS, or operating system push notification service, that developers can use to deliver push notifications. Registering with an operating system's push notification service allows you, the app publisher, to access the OSPNS API.
An iOS push notification is a message that pops up on an Apple device such as an iPhone. Before receiving push notifications from an app, iOS device users must explicitly give permission. Once a user opts-in, mobile app publishers can send push notifications to the users' mobile devices.
Push notifications sent through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) or the former Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) are not guaranteed to be delivered due to software issues. Push notifications may get delayed, lost, or received in a different order than sent.
Update! iOS 10 introduced the ability to add media attachments to push notifications. So now we have the ability to include an image in a push notification. [Source: Andrew from comments, and other tutorials that show how to do this, such as this one.]
No. The notification payload can be up to 256 bytes long. You can send an image only if the encoded image size plus the rest of the payload is no more bigger than that... useless.
You can, however, use launch-image property from alert apn dictionary to specify an image from app bundle that will be used at app launch.
Or you can send a URL from which the image can be downloaded within the app.
Please take a look at Apple Docs
