Is self-hosted enough to avoid push notifications going through Apple and Google servers?

How does it handle push notifications? If they come from googles push service then they'd be exploitable as well.

Indeed - it seems that this tracking is done completely outside of the phone, asking the network where, physically, the push notification was delivered (Tower, time, and date) to locate the phone and ostensibly the owner of the phone.
