Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to push notification to iOS devices in SharePoint 2013 when there is document added or deleted.
In SharePoint, we can use Event Receiver to monitor the item added/deleted event and perform accordingly.
More information on Event Receiver for your reference:

However, as there is no such APIs exposed in SharePoint can help to handle the push notification to iOS devices, a workaround is that, you might need to create an application in
server side and perform the notification pushing there instead.
For the issue about pushing notification to iOS devices, as it is not a SharePoint related issue, I suggest you post a question to the corresponding forum, you will get more help
and confirmed answers there.
Thanks
