Android Question Use gotify Pushservice in own Android App?

Hello, I am quite new to Basic4Android and still learning the basics. I am very concerned about privacy and so I found an alternative to Google Push services (because I need a free push service for a free app).
The whole thing is called gotify and is open source. I have used the search function but unfortunately found nothing. Now my question is, is it possible to add the functionality of the gotify app via Basic4Android? So the push function, so that you can communicate with your own push server? Has anyone ever done this before or can push me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance.

Edit: for infos https://gotify.net/docs/index

The tool name is B4A.

Any push solution not based on the OS push feature (FCM) or SMS will not be reliable. It will not be reliable because you will need to make your app run all the time in the background and it is not something that is possible on many devices.

Example of custom push implementation: Custom WebSocket Based Push Framework

If you only use Firebase Notification then it is Free. I suggest to use FCM
