iOS Rich Notifications Integration
Attach images, gifs, and videos to your push notifications
Starting with iOS 10, you can attach a static or animated image or even a video to push notifications. It will be displayed right in the notification when the user force-taps it.
Here's an example. iOS rich notifications is action!

iOS 10 rich notifications is action!
Enabling this functionality is very simple, with very little coding involved. Let's do it!
First create a Notification Service Extension. This extension downloads the content that will be shown to the user.
Add new target to your project (File -> New -> Target) and create Notification Service Extension.

Creating Notification Service Extension
Make sure you embed your new extension in your app!

Select your app to embed the extension
Just Copy & Paste it to your extension. The code downloads the attachment and calls the notification content handler.
Notification Service Extension is a separate binary and has its own Info.plist file.
Starting with iOS9 release to download the content from non-https URL (ex: http://) you have to add App Transport Security Settings with Allow Arbitrary Loads flag set to YES to extension's Info.plist file.

Info.plist
In order to send a rich notification just specify the file's URL in the "iOS10+ Media attachment" field

Woosh! Force-tap the notification and you are all done!

Amazing, isn't it?
