UnifiedPush support has been announced for Element X, and NeoChat
This week, next gen @element@mastodon.matrix.org client, Element-X, and @neochat@kde.social announced they are supporting #UnifiedPush. This makes 2 more @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org clients supporting it ! NeoChat the second Linux app officially supporting UnifiedPush, after @tokodon@kde.social #...
The official announcement was mentioned in Matrix's blog post:
Next release 0.4.2 should also be published on F-Droid with push support using UnifiedPush.
In other news, thanks to Joshua, NeoChat now supports push notifications based on UnifiedPush.
Interestingly, the Element X issue regarding implementing UnifiedPush, has not been updated, and there is no related merge request that I can find. NeoChat appears to have their changes buried in merge requests.

Sorry, but I'm using Lineage OS without Gapps and everything goes good, any notifications works in Element .... 🤔
You are forgiven. Element constantly runs a worker to check for new messages on the FOSS version (depending on your configuration), unlike PUSH which just sits idle and listen for new messages.
Shouldn't this use more battery? When i switched to Lineage my battery lasted longer 😅
Some say "yes, by a lot". In my experience a 10 seconds fetch rate on apps costs only a few percentages of battery per charge if the fetch is reasonably sane. Checking 75 podcast feeds with thousands of episodes every 10 minutes isn't sane.
I have tested and got better battery on Lineage/Clean ROMs as compared with stock as well. I put it down to bloat and spyware constantly running in the background with elevated priviledge. 🤷♂️
F-Droid ver. with Optimization,
Yes, the optimization is setting up how often the app and phone should wake up and check with your matrix server if there's any new messages.
