I am surprised that nobody seems to have the opposite problem: Modern Android just no longer delivers notifications in realtime but bunches them and delays them to a degree that you can't rely on them anymore for synchronous communication. Whatsapp and Gmail messages often trigger notifications up to 15 minutes after being received for me. Infuriating.

With apps like Signal, installed via apk, without going through Google on a de-Googled phone, I receive notifications in real time. What's the point of having all notifications go through Google, except to save some battery life and data?

Also, can Google read push notifications going through FCM?
