Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
F-Droid users cannot get "real" push notifications.
### Describe the solution you'd like
MicroG is developing a replacement library for Play Services client library: ~~https://github.com/microg/android_external_GmsLib~~ https://github.com/microg/GmsCore (**edit:** changed URL)
It's FLOSS so it would AFAIK be allowed to be included in the F-Droid build. And if the F-Droid users do have the original Google Play Services or [microG](https://microg.org/) installed, they could use a real FLOSS app, but also get push notifications. (so stuff like https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/922 is not needed)
### Describe alternatives you've considered
Leave it as it is; or remove Google Play Push services entirely. Both not ideal.
### Additional context
It seems to be still in development, but it's an idea, at least.
