This would be a nice feature. I'd request, though, that to whomever is going to work on notifications please don't bundle legitimate message alerts with "hey, use the app" notifications because it is the douchiest thing ever to do (looking at you Snapchat).
Jerboa
Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

That sort of thing usually creeps in only when the app goes corporate. I think we're good for many years to come.
The lack of push notifications is a known issue that, as far as I understand, isn't solved so easily because it needs Lemmy to have some server side capabilities that it doesn't have (yet?).

For now, no. Mastodon does have the feature, afaik, so there is no reason lemmy/kbin wouldn't be able to get it at some point.
You can already get desktop notifications if you allow that in your browser's settings.
