When I pray, does only God hear or does everyone in heaven hear?

Everyone who is in heaven is definitely in a joyful place with God, but God is the only one who can know our hearts. It is God alone who hears our prayers. God may share something great with everyone in heaven, like when heaven celebrates someone who has just given their heart to Jesus, but your prayers go just to God.

You can read about heaven’s happiness in Luke 15. Verse 7 comes at the end of the parable of the lost sheep, and verse 10 comes at the end of the parable of the lost coin. It says, “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." So heaven can know about great things that happen, but when you pray to Jesus, that prayer is just for Jesus.
