Additional context

Are you sending a normal push notification or you are setting a custom tone to play, or video attached or such a thing?

If you are talking about a normal push, then the problem may be on iOS itself since we don't have control of what happens a after a notification is received, perhaps reboot your phone to see if there are any differences.
