List over recent notifications / show when companion app notification is clicked

[einord]

This is a request for a feature mainly targeted for the companion app, It will most likely require some updates to the home assistant core, but the usage is tightly connected to the frontend rather core automation logic.

Suggestion
When a notification is sent to a device (via notify actions to a phone or computer app) it should be logged in database (maybe this is already the case?). In the companion app, all recent notifications to either the entire home assistant system, or perhaps only the current device, can be viewed from either a custom section of the notifications or somewhere else in the settings or companion app configuration.

Clicking the notification on the devices lock Screen / banner / etc opens the notification from the list.

Why is this feature needed?

• Today when sending a notification to a device, it might not display the entire message properly and truncate it. In this case there is no way to see the entire message.
• If the user clicks the notification by mistake, the Home Assistant companion app opens, with no information from the notification whatsoever, and the original notification on the device might be lost.
• If the user wants to revisit a notification at a later time, or wants to see which notifications were sent recently, there is no other way to do this unless the device operating system has this functionality.

What app are you using? I know Android companion app has this under Settings / Companion App / notification history.

The iOS companion app. I can't find what you're describing there. Not on the Mac version either.
