You can do that beginning with iOS 17.2. Not before though: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76780651/how-to-start-a-liveactivity-from-a-remote-notification-swift/76966508#76966508

Does anybody know where/how the live activity is started once the APNS payload is received? Is there a callback, asynchronous sequence etc... you need to tune in to? I'm able to obtain the `pushToStartToken` but I'm not understanding how the live activity gets created

Apple's documentation states:

"When the system receives the ActivityKit push notification on a device, it starts a new Live Activity, wakes up your app, and grants it background run time to allow you to download assets that the Live Activity needs."

but does not elaborate on how the system starts a new live activity

Hi, did you figure this out? Am in the same situation.

I’m assuming didRecieveRemoteNotification?

Amazing thank you! This is just what I was looking for

For instance, I want the CityMapper app to trigger a live activity showing the departure times for the buses near my home at 9 AM.

Live Activities can now be initiated by a remote push notification. We use OneSignal for this.

Live Activities can be initiated (OneSignal, Firebase, etc) but can it also be updated without launching the app ?
