HomeKit Device Notifications

I have many Roku devices and 1 Apple TV to use as a hub for Homekit. When watching the Apple TV, I get a notification when the garage door is opened. I thought I could get those on Roku as well.

I added the Roku device to Homekit with the QR code I scanned in. I can control the device with my native iOS remote app, and inside the Home app.

But I get no notifications when the garage is opened/closed. I have enabled the device notifications, I see them on Apple TV. Do these notifications not work on Roku? I thought I read they did, but I can't figure it out...
