Description

I'd like to see the possibility of sending notifications from external sources to individuals in Nextcloud (I imagine something like Pushbullet or Pushover) where I can replace said services with Nextcloud.

I imagine on should be able to generate tokens (one for each service one wishes to receive push messages from?). An token along with an URL would be used in an webhook where the external source pushes messages to NC.

In the longrun I hope to see notifications in the Android app, where these push messages also would appear 😄

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by scoping how the Nextcloud notifications app could accept authenticated external requests and identify the existing notification delivery paths. Done means a reviewed design and implementation covering token management, webhook behavior, and delivery to individual users and the Android app.
