Getting comfortable
Sorry a bit late, but if you did not already work it out, you swipe left and click view to see the animated GIF.
If the notification pops up in an app then you have to swipe down to see the animation.
Rich Notifications

Just wanted to update that I've got rich notifications working perfectly on android with stunnel installed (not using a custom certificate from zerossl, but am forcing stunnel back to TLS 1.2). For me the problem was that the external ip listed in the web server settings wasn't updated, that's what broke my rich notifications (just happened to coincide with me installing stunnel as well).
Do I understand correctly? So if I'm using VPN to access my BI and do not have any ports forwarded to the actual server from outside the firewall, rich notifications won't work?
Probably a bit late but I found that if the app doesn't have direct access to the BI server you won't see the image in the notification.
It doesn't matter if you are on a VPN, doing port forwarding and so on. The key is that your BI server needs to be reachable.
In my case it was confusing because my BI server was publishing the public IP address it uses to go out to the internet as its IP address in the notification and since I can't conenct to that address then it never worked. What I did in the end was to make it publish its private address instead and it worked perfectly while I Was in the network or on the VPN.

On the web server tab, what IP addresses do you have for internal and external? And do you have "refresh external ip address ticked?

I have my correct external ip posted with port 81, but I don't use it since I use VPN to get into my home network before access BI on my iPhone. So im not using STUNNEL or port 443 since I am not opening anything yup to the outside world coming inbound, does that make sense?
Replace the external IP with the internal IP, disable refresh external address below. And then force a notification when you are on the VPN.
wow you are right! That worked. Thanks so much @VinAU I am assuming there is no other work around for users of VPN while they are home? The only option is to basically have VPN active all the time?
What do you mean have the VPN active at all times? If you are at home your BI server will be reachable on that IP and that would work as well.
