Description

Please add an option to ping Google (for push messaging) through Orbot.
I know that can be configured also outside but it would be easier to just have an option inside microG.

Research direction

Start by locating the Google push-messaging network entry points in the microG Android codebase and checking how external proxy or Orbot configuration is currently handled. The issue does not name files or tests, so first determine the supported Orbot integration approach and define what an in-app option should configure before implementation. Done means push-messaging requests can be routed through Orbot when the option is enabled.
