[SOLVED]I kind of figured it out by doing some minimum amount of bank transfers, I concluded that the only needed domain in order to make push notifications work for my banking app is mtalk.google.com.
Not sure if it's totally right tho. It worked for me.
I found this post on /e/OS forum:
community.e.foundation/t/what-…
mtalk.google.com is needed by GCM (cloud messaging). For those using adblockers it was always recommended to whitelist it (not block it), otherwise one would have problems with push messaging
[OP]I'm currently using a ROM with GrapheneOS sandboxed Play Services + DNS filter with No Google list that blocks everything from Google.
But I think it's worth the trade off of whitelist just a specific domain because I really need instant push notifications from my banking app.
But since I blocked everything I think it's not reaching Google

But since I blocked everything I think it's not reaching Google servers to handle push notifications properly.
So if anyone could help on this I really appreciate it.
I see my bank trying to reach these domains:
- firebaselogging.googleapis.com
- firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com
- firebase-settings.crashlytics.com
(I just pause the DNS filter when I need something related to Play Services)

in reply to shrek_is_love • • •I just did some tests and found out it's
mtalk.google.comfor me at least.I whitelisted this domain and then I was able to receive notifications on my bank app.
Also I allowed Notifications permission on Play Services app. But I can tell for sure the only allowed google domain was
mtalk.google.com, I checked the logs.Can you check if
mtalk.google.comis on your block lists?My case I'm not using a Google app, it's just my bank app, so it might be different? I'll do some more tests later to make sure.
