Description

adding option for microG to talk to a custom push server (perhaps using a different transport if that will be more convenient) and forward information needed to proxy FCM notifications. This way people can use a freedom respecting push service and keeps existing apps functional, and app developers doesn't need to create two version of a app to use free push services, if the token they got is for google, they send the notif to google, otherwise to the push server directly, apps only need to understand FCM APIs.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by mapping the existing FCM token and notification flow in GmsCore and identifying the push-server and transport boundaries. Define the custom-server behavior and token routing needed to preserve FCM-compatible app use, then verify the complete notification path for both Google and custom tokens.
