6. Notification Actions
Once a push notification is expanded, users can take immediate actions.With a messaging
app, you could reply directly without opening the app.With an events app, you could
accept a calendar invite within the notification. Notification Actions empower the
developer to deliver a push notifications experience tailor made for their app.
Expanded detail view with 3DTouch
Push notifications can include an expanded view upon 3D
Touch that displays applets, such as a map or a calendar.The
user no longer has to open an app to see important
contextual information such as a car arriving on a map or the
date of a calendar invite.

7. Adding Actions to Notification
There are mainly 3 kinds of actions
Default Actions –The default action is when the user opens the
App from notification.
Custom Actions – Quick action can be executed directly from the
notification itself without launching the App.These Custom actions can be
background or foreground. Background custom actions can dismiss the
notification and the System will be providing a limited amount of time in the
background to execute the custom action.The foreground actions can dismiss
the notification and can launch the app to execute the custom action.
Dismiss Actions –The default action to remove push message.
