It's harder than it looks.
In theory, there's microg, in reality, if you do a complete un-googling, most push notifications won't come through.
If you do want to try it:
- factory reset the phone to get rid of any google accounts
- root the phone
- get "System app remover (ROOT)"[^1]
- remove all google applications, except google play services and framework
- reboot
- remove remaining google applications
- reboot
- get xposed[^2] and fakegapps[^3] and hope it works
- get microG[^4], maybe through nanodroid[^5]
- pray for it to work
I managed to get this running once, not ever again on a marshmallow based devices, and even when it did, push notification were a lottery, they may or may not work.

- amelius 8y agoThanks, but I was more thinking along the lines of installing a new OS (Linux) and running Android apps (e.g. for banking) in a sandbox. Is that possible?
