Android: Notification action buttons (Approve/Deny) do not perform actions

[runleveldev]

Description:
In the push-notification-based 2FA app, approval requests appear in the system notification area with Approve and Deny action buttons.

Current Behavior:

The notification displays Approve and Deny buttons.

Tapping either button does not approve or deny the request.

Instead, tapping either action simply opens the app to the approve/deny screen.

This behavior is identical to tapping the notification body itself.

Expected Behavior:
One of the following should occur:

The Approve and Deny notification action buttons directly approve or deny the authentication request without opening the app, or

The Approve and Deny action buttons should be removed from the notification if they cannot perform the action directly.

Impact:

The current behavior is misleading and confusing to users.

Users reasonably expect notification action buttons to execute the labeled action.

This undermines trust in the UI and slows down the authentication flow.

Steps to Reproduce:

Trigger a push-based 2FA request.

Observe the notification in the notification area with Approve and Deny buttons.

Tap Approve or Deny.

Observe that the app opens to the approve/deny screen instead of performing the selected action.

Notes:

This is likely an issue with notification action handling.

If direct approval/denial is not feasible due to security or platform constraints, the notification UI should be adjusted to avoid misleading affordances.
