I believe apple has only the metadata of the push notification, if implemented properly. The payload of the push notification itself can be end-to-end encrypted.

Isn't that true of any notification system? You're the one setting the payload, you can encrypt it before it gets to Google or Apple.

Yes, probably true. I only ever briefly interacted with APNS, can’t speak to firebase.
