The article says that Google and Apple know about the push notifications being shown on the phone and governments can make these companies turn over customer data.

I'm not sure if it only covers (for example) the unified notification service on Android or whether Apple and Google know of notifications that don't make use of that API. It's not clear from the article.

I don't know about Apple but on Android it's almost a capital sin to strive to use other services, and they work a lot worse than GCM (because of all the artificial limitations that Google imposed over the years).
