Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/711

Currently, apps inside LiveContainer don’t support native push notifications, which limits the usability of social/media apps (like Reddit, Discord, Telegram, etc.). While implementing native Apple Push Notification support (APNs) inside containers may be restricted due to Apple’s sandboxing, a workaround system could still improve user experience.

Proposal:
Add an optional notification relay feature that works like this:
• LiveContainer monitors container app activity in the background (optional permission).
• When a containered app (e.g. Reddit) receives an internal alert or event (e.g. new message, reply), LiveContainer shows a local iOS notification saying “Reddit has a new notification.”
• Tapping the notification would launch the container directly into the relevant app.

Possible Workarounds / Options:
• Let apps inside containers write notification info to shared LiveContainer logs, which LC polls periodically.
• Support specific apps (like Reddit or Discord) with notification bridges that hook into known endpoints (like polling an inbox).
• If full background polling isn’t possible, offer a manual notification check button in the LiveContainer UI.
• Let users opt-in to per-app notifications that can be toggled in the settings.

Why it’s useful:
• Makes LiveContainer viable for more types of apps (chat, social, productivity).
• Increases user engagement.
• Keeps users informed without needing to open each container manually.
