I'm a privacy focused self hoster and ntfy was not good enough for me so I created Prism with an optional Android app: https://git.lonecloud.dev/lone-cloud/prism

The difference: Your phone doesn't get notifications from your notification service directly, but from Mozilla which helps to hide your digital fingerprint of you using a separate notification provider like ntfy. Prism also allows Telegram or Signal to act as a notification distributor. In addition, I use Proton Mail which doesn't really allow custom notification services. Prism has a custom integration to work around that so your proton mail notifications don't have to touch google services.

Interesting, how is it able to send via Mozilla? I did a quick search in the repo and the term isn't found.

		The webpush endpoint registration is initiated from the client. The Android app can act as a client and it's the one that registers Mozilla's autopush service.

In what ways is your digital fingerprint being monitored where your notification providers are being captured?

I meant that at the network level, should something be monitoring, your client would be making requests to a unique (ntfy) address that virtually nobody else ever uses. Requests to Mozilla are more crowd blended as it's quite popular already.

Aren’t the requests https?

Or you mean you are trying to hide from a network where you are mitm attacked?

		Yes, they are https so security is not a concern. I want to crowd blend at the network level so that my requests don't aversive that I'm using a privacy notification system (or a VPN).
