Push Notifications - New book in Series

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No issue

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, I'd like a push notification to my app when a new book of a series I've been listening to is available. This way I don't have to keep an eye on the Continue Series or check myself.

I'd assume this would be a user option to turn on/off.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Can't think of any.

Additional context

I'm using the Android app at the moment.

Or an potion to be notified of any new books added. Some people's libraries that would result in a flood but for other people it might be just right.

I looked into this briefly a few weeks ago and push notifications to android require using Google's Firebase, which means we would need to run a central server to manage all the push notifications and Google would get to track all the devices.

There may be an alternative I don't know about yet though.
