Some few apps like element and tusky allow for the use of UnifiedPush through clients like ntfy. All other apps either create websockets of their own (signal) use pull notifications (redreader while i still used reddit) or get no notifications at all.
I will have to look at how that works. Maybe I can run a server on a computer to push to ntfy.
It has a default push server setup that you can use if you wish. You could absolutely run your own server too. Ntfy has to be excluded from battery optimization to allow it to keep a websockets connection open. That is part of what makes degoogled phones drain so fast is lack of firebase notifications causing every app to maintain their own connection. Firebase covers hundreds of apps with a single connection rather than hundreds of individual connections.
No idea if this would he possible but my starting idea here is using a server of some sort to grab the firebase notifications and push them all over one webocket similar to GMS. What I don't know is how registering apps works. I know from micro g they register themselves to receive notifications but I'm not sure of what data is actually given to micro g or the relationship between the app and micro g/the web socket.
Ah. I see what you are thinking. I don't think that would work as most apps don't register with UnifiedPush.
I wonder if we could use lspatch (or similar) to hook in and change that. I might have a project ahead of me. We'll see.
Wouldn't you need root for lsposed anyway?
My bad! I meant lspatch.
NP, man. Never heard of it. Now I have something else to waste my time on! 🙃
