Push notifications work with any app. It is nicer to group notifications by app, and have app specific behavior. Emails add an extra step to get to the content in the app.

Gmail does push notifications. Otherwise, have to wait for the client to poll the server.

What if I don't want to use an app?

Email works with every email client that has been ever made.

It is already universal.
