Hi guys basically as the title says. I have a pixel phone running GrapheneOS and I really don't want to install Play Services. Is there an alternative for me? I need reliable notifications for Telegram and signal. Edit: Thank you all amazing people for helping I learned alot and found best setup for me

You mean unrestricted battery usage? If so, I don't exactly understand how it differs from keeping the unifiedpush integration off and relying on the app, does it make it so that it's only "ready" to be triggered by ntfy when it would otherwise poll the server on its own very frequently (so you end up actually saving some battery)?

    That's how I understand it, yes. You change the behaviour of the app by configuring it to use UnifiedPush, so there is less background usage to "restrict"
