Summary

Push notifications from Claude Code Remote Control arrive silently on iPhone — no sound and no vibration, regardless of iOS notification settings.

Environment

  • Device: iPhone 15 Pro (iOS)
  • Claude app: latest version
  • Feature: Remote Control (push notifications via PushNotification tool)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect iPhone to Claude Code via Remote Control
  2. Trigger a push notification (e.g., via PushNotification tool or long-running task completion)
  3. Observe notification arrives in notification center with no sound or vibration

Expected Behavior

Notification arrives with sound and/or vibration, consistent with other apps.

Actual Behavior

Notification arrives silently. No sound, no vibration.

What I've Tried

  • Disabled Focus/Do Not Disturb mode
  • Disabled "Attention Aware Features"
  • Verified Claude app notification settings: Banner, Sound, Badge all enabled
  • Restarted iPhone and Claude app
  • All other apps with same settings produce sound + vibration normally

Notes

The notification payload appears to be sent as silent — iOS settings alone cannot override this. The app likely needs to include sound and/or badge in the APNs payload.

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 Linux and iphone. I also get silent notifications. The display doesn't brighten up when notification arrives and there is no sound. However, if i manually unlock the phone (or even touch the display), then i see Claude notification waiting for "permissions"! So annoying, basically if Claude code is working in terminal on the Linux box, then i have to manually keep checking the iphone screen, to see if there are any new notifications from Claude code. Please guys, fix this!
