This doesn't make any sense to me. It's definitely possible to send push notifications to Android apps without Firebase Cloud Messenger.

- DaiPlusPlus 3y agoYes-and-no. Yes, you technically can - but your users will complain: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41511475/android-push-notification-without-firebase https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41511475/android-push-no...
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoThe top comment on that SO post is: > It's definitely possible -- you don't have to use Firebase to deliver push notifications. You can roll out your own notification solution or consider a paid product such as Pushy (pushy.me) which does not rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging. Full disclosure - I am the Founder & CEO at Pushy. So clearly someone else has done it and built a business around it.
