Have an Android app that notifies me via an SMS; this makes no sense!

Thanks for feedback Nikolay. We wanted to add many things. Notifications via SMS is for super busy people, who go offline from time to time but would never want to miss a reply from pg.

Also, we are considering adding a Telegram bot for notifications. Please let us know if someone would like this.

EDIT: I can't reply to posts below, so I am going to post here. The android notifications are default. On top of that we would like to offer other types of notifications: SMS, Email, Telegram bots, etc.

I assume nikolay would prefer native Android notifications.

True. Plus, I can't miss native notifications thanks to Notif Log Pro [0].

I think the point was that an Android app that needs to send a notification to a user of the app should use the built-in push notification functionality.
