[bisq-network/bisq] bisq mobile notifications should NOT rely on "google play services" (#2441)

[Joachim Neumann]

Thanks @marcosdsanchez 

Replacing Firebase Cloud Messaging with a different notification mechanism would indeed be very nice and could provide much better privacy. 

However, the Bisq nodes communicate exclusively over the Tor hidden services and the Server-Sent Events which are mentioned in the Tutanota blog post would not work over Tor - at least as far as I could see. We could build our own notification mechanism (over Tor), but this is quite difficult in iOS. In Android, it is possible but it would still be a lot of work.

We should probably add a warning message to the App users about the privacy compromise they are making when using the iOS or Android App, would you agree?
