The docs show an example of sending a live activity update with an alert:

{
    "aps": {
        "timestamp": 1168364460,
        "event": "update",
        "content-state": {
            "driverName": "Anne Johnson",
            "estimatedDeliveryTime": 1659416400
        },
        "alert": {
            "title": "Delivery Update",
            "body": "Your pizza order will arrive soon.",
            "sound": "example.aiff" 
        }
    }
}

In the simulator I have not been able to get the alert payload to do anything. Are we supposed to be able to send both an update and alert to the live activity token or should it be 1 to the live activity token and the alert to the main app's token?

Same problem here, I think the problem is the simulator doesn't know which live activity to update for the given payload.

This is for backwards capability. If you have an Apple watch paired with your iPhone and the content update arrives while your phone is locked the notification (with title, body and sound) will be proxied to your Apple Watch. At least this is what I observed during testing the feature
