Hi al,

I use an automation to check if there are free charging points for my EV when I get home.
The automation is working fine and I noticed the following syntax:

    car_ui: true
action: notify.notify```


But I still don't get a notifiation in Android Auto when the automation is running. I believe the notification is in the home assistant app in Android Auto, but I would like to see a notification like you see when you for example receive a text message and AA displays it at the top of the screen.

Is it possible to achieve this kind of notification with Home Assistant in AA? Do I need to tweak my notification on my phone perhaps?
I also noticed:
```importance: high
priority: high```


Not sure if these should be included?

Small update, the notification is shown like this, is it possible to show the message? When i click on it, it opens the HA app in AA but the message is gone. I'd lik to see the whole message in the notification
