I have to add / I personally use the official discourse app plus a paid version (single / one time fee, €4.99 ) of pushover. I get pings and all for notifications.

Enabling push notifications on iOS in three easy steps.

  1. In your Safari browser, open the “Share” menu.
  2. Scroll down and selected “Add to Home Screen”
  3. After opening the Hub from the Home Screen, enable notifications.

Similar functionality should be possible on Android, can someone test and post?
