Remove dependance on google play services
Protonmail android app is dependent on google play services and that is obviously against privacy and security.
Users who removed/disable google play services or used vanilla "lineageos" without gapps cannot get the mail client work properly.
Google play services collect every possible piece of info about the user; location, body sensors, application usage, and every other possible thing. So telling the use to enable/install google services you compromise his privacy and security by 3rd party app which is clearly against the idea if Protomail.
I hope you can correct this and have no dependence on google at all.

Paying long time user bumping this issue again, there are a number of open source apps that have solved this issue and removed their independence of Google services (Signal, Fairemail, Tutanota etc.).

Unbelievable Protonmail still not providing a solution for this after so many years, I think after my premium is over I'll move to Tutanota.

People have been asking for this for over 3 years from a "security and privacy" focussed email company! Step 1: Remove dependency on Google's services! Sheesh!

I hope this has moved up on the priority schedule. With both Apple and Google ramping up plans for "tracing covid", I think now more than ever privacy and tracking should be at the forefront. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/4/10/21216675/apple-google-covid-coronavirus-contact-tracing-app

"Currently" is not a valid response. Re-open this, provide the feature, or state that it will never happen. Stating that it is currently not an option does not merit a "Completed" tag. Other privacy respecting applications(1) allow for GCS-free notifications, WHY(would also be a valid response) can't Protonmail?
(1): Riot comes to mind, as does Nextcloud, Feeder, DAVx, AndStatus... All of these are open source too, get some code ideas from them, and implement that.

Would love to see this also. Tutanota has notifications working without Google, PM needs to do the same. I really don't want to switch email for such a simple feature as having working notifications for those of us that really choose privacy by refusing google services. For now, I have to leave my home computer on all the time to receive emails in a desktop client that then forwards all my emails to Tutanota so that I get notifications on my phone! But PM is my main email, only using Tuta for this purpose. Could happily turn off my computer and delete Tuta if this was fixed.
