Description

Current K9-mail beta doesn't provide push notifications.
I wish K9-mail provides Push notifications and allows me choose my distributor for Push Notifications. (e.g. so that I can use Gotify instead of FCM / Google services)

UnifiedPush is a recent FOSS library that allows this, I suggest to include it in K9-mail.

See https://unifiedpush.org and Matrix discussion on #unifiedpush:matrix.org
Also #5123 might give additional info.

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing push-notification implementation and the UnifiedPush integration requirements, including distributor selection and Gotify support. Done means K-9 Mail provides push notifications while allowing a user-selectable distributor instead of requiring FCM or Google services.
