I downloaded it with APK Downloader, but did not install it directly from the Playstore; my goal is to deGoogle as much as possible, and microG is a concession in order to receive push notifications.
As an experiment I temporary added a google account to the phone (without any additional software installation), but to no avail.

3 years ago since i use android 11 (los 18.1) i have to use the patched playstore by nanodroid to get signal messenger working with push. i dont know why. but that is why i mentioned it here...maybe the same behavior.

3 years ago Could be related to [ch.protonmail.android] Protonmail does not register for push notifications #1494, as this sounds similar. Perhaps a different/altered push notification implementation in Android?
The issue seems to have fixed itself for me with ProtonMail. ProtonMail is now registered and I'm receiving push notifications. Maybe it's because my ROM got updated yesterday, which upgraded microG from version 0.2.18.204714 to version 0.2.19.211515, but I don't think so since that's the version the author of #1494 had problems with too.

That's strange, I use Signal on LOS 18.1 (the microG version, but Signal isn't registered for GCM) and notifications work fine for me. I got Signal from Aurora Store.

So this is where it gets interesting: adding the google account (and reinstalling Instagram, flushing cache/data) actually did (temporarily) result in push notifications, although it did not appear under Cloud messaging in microG Settings.
The behavior was not consistent though, after trying to replicate it: at first it seemed Instagram had to be started after fresh device boot before notifications showed up in tandem with the other phone. During testing to determine the limits/rules of this behavior the notifications ceased to appear though, although no settings/applications changed.
Any way I can aid in debugging to hunt down the cause for this behavior?

Debugging got a bit harder as Push Notification Tester cannot connect to the server anymore because it was removed from Google Play.

3 years ago Instead of rolling my own I've just installed the build for my phone of LineageOS for microG and that worked out of the box.
Closing this ticket: most likely this was PEBCAK ;)
P.S.: I had the same issue with Signal as @RobertoWa encountered, which has now also been resolved.
Affected app Name: Instagram Package id: com.instagram.android
Describe the bug Instagram does not receive push notifications.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior I expect a push notification from the Instagram app, similar to other installed applications (such as Push Notification Tester and Discord).
