Degoogled Push Notifications

[doggorino]

I use a privacy focused version of android called GrapheneOS, it does not come with google services so apps that use firebase for push notifications do not work. If it is possible, I ask the devs to implement push notifications that do not rely on firebase, something like UnifiedPush for example. Element/FluffyChat (Matrix), Conversations (Xmpp), Fedilab, and Molly/Signal to name a few do not rely completely on firebase so I am able to get push notifications. Thanks for reading, I hope this gets implemented when you have the time 🙂

Unfortunately, as our current Android application is a Trusted Web Activity, we cannot interface directly with other applications' or system APIs, which includes Unified Push. Push Notifications are handled by your default browser.

what about now for the new android app? unifiedpush also has a fallback to FCM, should we open a feature req?

We've already written FCM code so another android option isnt really a priority
