Doubt about a recent post

Our GmsCompat app runs a foreground service and used to keep a connection open to Play services and Play Store. It now creates the connection on-demand when they need a foreground service.Toggling off background data usage for Play services and Play Store will now stop their background services being able to use data. That now blocks it from using mobile data when it's not running a foreground service since another foreground service isn't always using it anymore."

Does this mean if i turned off background data usage i will still get notifications?

twitheatrophonic If you turned off background data usage for Play services, you won't be getting background push notifications before when you only have mobile data available without Wi-Fi. If you're on Wi-Fi, it wouldn't matter, since it's about saving mobile data usage by stopping apps using it in the background. It's not a privacy-related toggle.
