Hello Marco: Canonical server receives the notification from Telegram and push it to the proper device. The information into the notification is the one that Telegram sends to Canonical, that is simply forwarded. In the case of regular chats, Telegram notifification comes with the message content, but that doesn't happen in the case of secret chats. In that specific case, any relevant information related with the content of the message, the conversation, the participants, any chat identifier, etc.. is not included in the push notification. You can do a simple test: watch the difference between a notification content for a message in a regular chat compared with another belonging to a secret chat. So, if you're concerned about privacy i suggest you use secret chats that encrypts conversations end to end, being only the peers involve in conversation the only ones that have access to the messages.
