FCM notification & encryption

Are HA notifications end-to-end encrypted when using FCM on Android?

I’m aware that the Android app has two methods of receiving notifications: local and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). My problem with the former is battery drain; running a constant listener uses battery. The latter, however, raises privacy concerns where Google could see the plaintext content. I’d like to know how the notification is routed before enabling the setting.

no they are not, more details can be seen on https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-details

That’s a shame, would be nice if it were added. Thanks though!
