Expo Interactive Push Notifications

Question

I'm trying to send interactive push notifications with Expo. I can send normal push notifications fine, and I can even send local interactive push notifications, however I cannot send remote interactive push notifications

According to this section of the docs, you create a category, which I do:

Notifications.createCategoryAsync('daily_question', [
    {
        actionId: 'yes',
        buttonTitle: 'Yes',
    },
    {
        actionId: 'no',
        buttonTitle: 'No',
    },
]);

The working local notification then sends (with the interactive buttons) like this:

Notifications.presentLocalNotificationAsync({
    title: '...',
    body: '...',
    data: {...},
    categoryId: 'daily_question',
});

Is there a way to either:

1. Send a remote interactive push notification as specified in this section of the docs with the _category key
2. Send a "background" push notification and have a background task send a local interactive push notification

Answer 1

Try this snack, I tried it on iOs and when I click (long enough) on the notifications, it shows custom action (button One, button two, three),
