    Local, on-device apps don’t need to go through FCM or any other servers to show notifications, apps generate notifications offline.

    Same goes for Signal, it doesn’t ask FCM to deliver a notification, it asks to deliver a wakeup ping, and then the Signal app gets the message and generates a notification locally.
