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

    As other comments mentioned, Push Notifications, your main issue has workarounds. So, the answer would be Yes.

    BUT Google Play Services is much more than that. This dependency can’t be worked around really and it’s one more way that Google establishes his stance in this oligopoly. I’m certain Apple has something similar if not more aggressive. This is the reason why the year of the Linux Phone is so far away.

    Personally, I think Linux Phones will catch-up when their hardware allows for emulation of an android subsystem where we could sideload (illegally?) Google Play Services…
