vovanb - The purpose of the SendActivityNotification API is to send activity feed notifications in Microsoft Teams. This API allows you to send proactive messages to users, notifying them about updates or events related to your app.

You can send notifications to individual users or to a group of users. The recipients can be targeted based on their user ID, user principal name, or email address. You can also send notifications to a specific team or channel by specifying the team ID and channel ID.

The SendActivityNotification API should be used when you want to send notifications to users in real-time or based on specific events. It is commonly used to provide updates, alerts, or important information to users within the Teams app.

To use the SendActivityNotification API, you need to have the necessary permissions and authentication.

I am completely lost here. What is purpose of SendActivityNotification API? To whom I can send notification? When it should work? Nothing from your code example did not work for me?
Why this API created?

sorry, did not understand your response - so it is not possible to use that API at all? Then it is a bug?

vovanb - We have checked with the internal team, but currently, the only available sample is the one mentioned above. There are no other simple samples available for reference.
Here is Graph Api samples available- https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/tree/03dae3d9e7fe34ca968abdc530ebef95132f490b#graph-apis

Below what I did :

1. Using example Sample link-https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/blob/03dae3d9e7fe34ca968abdc530ebef95132f490b/samples/graph-activity-feed/csharp/ActivityFeedNotification/Controllers/HomeController.cs#L72 I got:
Cannot read the value '1' as a quoted JSON string value
This is because in example Source = TeamworkActivityTopicSource.Text, converted to 1
So this example does not work
2. I create below code to simulate Graph API example I provided - similar to Graph no activities appear in Teams:

                var requestBody = new Microsoft.Graph.Teamwork.SendActivityNotificationToRecipients.SendActivityNotificationToRecipientsPostRequestBody
                {
                    Topic = new TeamworkActivityTopic
                    {
                        Source = TeamworkActivityTopicSource.EntityUrl,
                        Value = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps/12438DD2-E2C5-4CCC-B480-79D0672F86C7",
                    },
                    ActivityType = "approvalRequired",
                    PreviewText = new ItemBody
                    {
                        Content = "Internal spending team has a pending finance approval requests",
                    },
                    Recipients = new List<TeamworkNotificationRecipient>
    {
        new AadUserNotificationRecipient
        {
            OdataType = "microsoft.graph.aadUserNotificationRecipient",
            UserId = userId,
        }
    },
                    TemplateParameters = new List<KeyValuePair>
    {
        new KeyValuePair
        {
            Name = "approvalTaskId",
            Value = "5",
        },
    },
};
await graphClient.Teamwork.SendActivityNotificationToRecipients.PostAsync(requestBody);

SO all examples I used does not send notification or failed.
Can you guys create simple sample which can send notification to logged user?
