Given that the ntfy Android app is available through F-Droid, I strongly doubt that Google Play Services is used at all.

  I suspect the F-Droid version might have delays. There are various issues when avoiding Firebase. There is no way to fulfill all of these: - avoid Google servers - preserve battery - show timely notifications https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/82 https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/82

    This is incorrect (at least in my experience). Firebase/FCM is significantly slower in delivering messages than the non-Firebase version (WebSockets or JSON stream, longstanding connection). It was actually mindboggling to me how slow Firebase is in delivering messages (especially when the phone is in doze mode).

      But what kind of battery impact do you get leaving a long-running connection open?

        Depends on your usage. For me it's around 1% for the entire day: https://ntfy.sh/docs/faq/#how-much-battery-does-the-android-app-use https://ntfy.sh/docs/faq/#how-much-battery-does-the-android-...
