I remember reading an article where the government and Google were able to read notifications and record them from every android device. I wonder if Graphene might have patched this problem, and if not, do they have any plans to do so?

Thanks!

    Hi,

    This has nothing to do with reading notifications but getting an approximate location based on notifications.

    Like I said, if the notifications are sent encrypted, there is no way to read them.

    Regarding tracking locations based on push messages, the only way to avoid it is by carefully selecting which apps are allowed to send you notifications.

    Again, it does not matter what operating system you are using.

        There is nothing stopping you from encrypting the payload instead of sending plain text.
