Show Hyper Link in remote notification with Message

I need to show hyperlink in my remote notification along with Title and body. I have done some thing like this:

@IBAction func openPDFButtonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
    self.scheduleNotification()         
}

func scheduleNotification() {
    let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()

    let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
    content.title = "Download The Receipt"
    content.body = "Kindly Download your purchase bill"
    content.categoryIdentifier = "PDF"
    content.userInfo = ["customData": "http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf"]
    content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default

    var dateComponents = DateComponents()
    dateComponents.hour = 10
    dateComponents.minute = 30
    let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false)

    let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: UUID().uuidString, content: content, trigger: trigger)
    center.add(request)
}  

func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) {
    // pull out the buried userInfo dictionary
    let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
    print("Test: \(userInfo)")

    if let customData = userInfo["customData"] as? String {
        print("Custom data received: \(customData)")


        let storyBoard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let newViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "PDFViewController") as! PDFViewController
        newViewController.strURL = customData
        self.present(newViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    completionHandler()
}

sample for hyper link "SHOW BILL"

In this I am sending url in user info but I need this url as hyperlink that shows when notification appears. and when I click on that hyperlink it will open this URL in webView. Loading URL in webview part is done. Just need to know how can I show this url as hyperlink on notification.

You cannot control the way a notification is shown by iOS, but you can declare specific actions for your notifications. See here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/declaring_your_actionable_notification_types

This lets you add your custom 'Pay, Reject, Block' actions to the notification. iOS will offer the choices to the user, and notify your app in the background when the user selects one, but you will not be able to show the URL, only text.

The only way to show a custom dialog following a notification is if you get the notification while the app is in the foreground, because then the OS doesn't show the notification, it only notifies your app, and you can then decide to show whatever UI suits you. But that kind of goes against the idea of the notification, which can come in at any time, in particular when your app is not running.
