Support UnifiedPush for android notifications
I don't have google services on my phone and having every app permanently connected checking for new messages is detrimental to battery life. UnifiedPush is the open alternative to Google Cloud Messaging: https://unifiedpush.org

I think Proton not only should support UnifiedPush on Android, but they should also be a push notification distributor for other apps supporting it.
The less relying on Google, the better.

Proton advertises as a de-googled alternative for Google suite, but it actually needs Google services to work properly.
No Google = no notifications. That doesn't sound good. -

Looking to have support for UnifiedPush notifications, or similar ability to receive push notifications on Proton android apps.
This would vastly improve connectivity for users who opt not to use Google Services on their device, which is a growing number.
Similar projects like The Signal Foundation allow to push notifications/check servers at the cost of battery, which would be fine in this context as well.
Thank you for all you do

Proton push notifications are the only remaining reason to keep Google Play services on my device. Cutting that tether would be a relief.

I would really appreciate it if this could be implemented. I hate the fact that Google Cloud Messaging is the dominant notification solution for developers. Please implement UnifiedPush!!
