Visitor Announcements on Phone

I'll apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to enable visitor announcements on my Android phone? I get a notification on my phone when someone presses the doorbell button, but it's the same type of notification as any other activity notification - e.g. if someone passes in view of the camera but doesn't press the doorbell button.

What I would like (and to be honest what I had expected) is that when someone presses the doorbell button, that a longer or different chime or alert is sent to my phone. My understanding is that Google smart speakers or hubs inside the house will do this and have a chime and/or say "someone is at the door", but this doesn't seem to be available on my phone. All I'd like is to have that same function happen on the phone.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to enable something like this would be most appreciated.

Google Nest only provides standard notifications when someone presses the doorbell button. There are ongoing requests for a more noticeable notification in this forum.
