Description

Turns out that iOS allows any old app to do custom notification UI these days (like iMessage and Twitter do to how image thumbnails). This is described in https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/ModifyingNotifications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH16-SW1. It would be wonderful to have this as a feature.
