The fact the #developer states they won't #support #Android because #PushNotifications on Android are "insecure" (in their opinion) is fallacious at-best.

More likely the developer simply doesn't want to invest the time or resources, completely ignoring the fact that Android has a 42% marketshare in the US.

Even worse? The developer tells android users to "just buy an
#iPhone".

Fuck 'em.

Matt Taylor began to feel like he was getting too many push notifications from the BBC News app, so he decided to investigate how these alerts work, how they differ around the world, and what clues you can pick up about media trends from them. So he downloaded 61 international news apps on an old phone, signed up for push notifications on all of them, and then used ChatGPT to build a script that uploads their text to a server and a Bluesky page. NiemanLab talked to him about what he learned. We want to know: What's your perspective on push notifications for news?

  • I've ported UnifiedPush to Firefox, so it can receive background notifications using the service you want, specially useful for PWA (installable web application)
  • ntfy provides a PWA
  • So I can receive ntfy notifications with their PWA through any push service, for instance using Sunup :D

It's 2024, I've built hybrid apps that allowed for push notifications on iOS, Safari has native Web Push, and I still don't understand how push notifications work.

Why can't some Android apps receive push notifications without Google Services? Why should push notifications have to go through a third party? Why does this suck so bad? How do we fix this?

We are working on push notification support for our official apps!
