Yup. Notifications are such a shitshow. Everything with tech is a shitshow. The solutions to problems create their own problems (e.g. p2p to avoid servers, but now you have to have your device online to receive messages, so you put an always on device on your home network to always get messages (basically a bounce device), but now you have an unsecured device that isnt on your person so if your threat involves police reading your messages well gosh you better hope they dont break in to your home. Next thing you know youre writing a bash script to constantly detect changes in the accelerometer, and when they exceed a certain threshold delete all messages and dd -if /dev/null -of /dev/sda, and then youre hooking it up to a random unsecured telnet connection to a seismology center to make sure its actually cops busting down your door and not an earthquake so you dont accidentally lose your messages, and finally you get it all set up perfectly and dont put it on the table gingerly enough and trigger the script, wiping the drive, and you give up and then it turns out your friend uses an old unsecured android version so the cops just got all the group messages from a random traffic stop and now your in jail awaiting trial for terrorism and ok ok at this point I'm just being hyperbolic and taking the piss a little.)
