How do notifications work in the official Telegram Android app (Play Store vs Site version maybe)? Does it have the same mechanism as Signal, which only recognizes the presence of notifications via Google services, but sends them via its web socket service?

i assume that the official telegram client uses FCM. but the Telegram FOSS client on Fdroid and its forks use a background service.
