This is a feature request for Claude Code (remote control mode) to add push notifications upon task completion. Users running multiple sessions in the background want to be alerted without manual checking. The request covers iOS, Android, and desktop notifications for a smoother workflow.
A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.
You are an expert full-stack developer. Your task is to implement a push notification system for the `anthropics/claude-code` project (issue #28765) for task completion in remote-control mode. Assume a fork of the repository and that you are adding the notification logic within the existing codebase where task completion events are triggered. Focus on the backend integration first. Implement a new API endpoint (e.g., `/api/notify-task-complete`) in a Next.js 16 App Router application. This endpoint should accept a POST request with `sessionId` and `taskName` as parameters. From this endpoint, use a lightweight serverless function or an external service (like Pushover, or a simple webhook to a custom notification service you'd also create) to send a generic push notification. For this MVP, we will only implement a basic webhook call to an external (mocked) notification service that logs the event. The goal is to demonstrate the trigger and data flow. Use Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, and Tailwind v4 for any frontend configuration UI, and assume a Neon Postgres database (though not directly used in this notification-only MVP). Provide the necessary code modifications to `claude-code` to call this new endpoint upon task completion.
Reach out to the community around Claude Code, especially those in remote-control mode, and highlight how AI-usage-monitor or agent-eval-lab could further optimize their AI development workflow by complementing task completion notifications.
## Feature Request When using Claude Code in remote-control mode via the Claude app, it would be great to receive **push notifications** when a task completes while the app is backgrounded. ## Use Case Running multiple Claude Code sessions via tmux with remote-control. Tasks can take a while to complete, and there's no way to know when they finish without switching back to the app and checking manually. A push notification (iOS/Android/desktop) when the remote-controlled session finishes a task would make the workflow much smoother — especially when multitasking or running several sessions in parallel.

“I've prototyped a solution for push notifications for completed tasks in Claude Code's remote-control mode, as requested in issue #28765. I have a basic Next.js-based webhook integrated with a notification service ready to demonstrate how task completion can trigger alerts. Happy to discuss further or open a draft PR.”
