Description
Steps to reproduce
- Install Talk 15.0.1 (GPlay)
- Enter user credentials to login
Expected behaviour
Notifications should be enabled and available.
Actual behaviour
Message appears (just for a couple of milliseconeds) that push notifications are disabled.

I didn't find any way to see this information afterwards (e.g. settings menu). Notifications for other apps (including nextcloud) work just fine.
See further details below (Additional information).

Notifications were working before removing talk-android and reinstalling. Double checking the docs didn't help so far. https://github.com/nextcloud/talk-android/blob/master/docs/notifications.md

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on a Huawei Mate 40 Pro running Android 11 with Talk 15.0.1, then review docs/notifications.md and the supplied occ notification:test-push --talk output. Done means determining why Talk reports push notifications as disabled and restoring visible, working notifications after login.
