I want to replace Google Play Services already on my SSG. Just wondering if there’s an app that will push all the notifications…

    I’m not sure what you’re asking. There is microG that spoofs Play services to apps. That’s been around for several years.

    You can also find open source push notification apps on f-droid. Some of those might require a self hosted server, while for example Sunup uses Mozilla’s server.

    Whether those work on your device probably depends on your ability to root it 🤷

      microG replaces the Play services application on your device, but it’s still going to be dependent on Google servers if you are using push notifications. There’s no way around that unless the app supports a non-Google alternative such as UnifiedPush or even just a web socket.

        Yeah, as I said earlier it wasn’t completely clear to me if this was only a question about push notifications or just all-round play services replacement. That is why I also mentioned SunUp which uses UnifiedPush.
