No.
In fact, the notification will just contains some informations like a
token and a id (see wiki for examples) and is just here to waking up
your device. The phone will react by waking up and get the message from
the DHT not in the notification or via a Google service. Basically this
is what Google (if a device use push notification) will see
{
"token":"a token used by the device to translate token to a hash listened by the
proxy node."
}
Anyone connected to the DHT can read messages on any value on the DHT.
But your messages between you and your contact is stored encrypted on
the DHT (for Ring). If you receive a message it will be decrypted by
your device.
Push notifications support can be enabled/disabled.
If you want a system which looks like the one for OpenDHT, you can also
read this article
http://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2016/12/11/riots-magical-push-notifications-in-ios.html
about push notifications for Riot/matrix or Signal does the same thing.
Use pure wake up notification without any content.
I hope this is clear and answer to your concerns.
Have a nice day,
