The problem

Describe precisely the problem you're facing and add screenshots to illustrate

If I use the internal ntfy client by launching it via an activity manager and my own topics, I can use UnifiedPush but I don't get notifications about my own topics. If I install a standalone ntfy client, UnifiedPush breaks (because I have two ntfy clients?). From a web search, I learned that internal UnifiedPush used to be toggleable sometime before 3.3 which would solve this conflict but this setting was removed in a recent release.

Steps to reproduce

Launch the internal ntfy client by launching it via an activity manager. Add own topics (preferably on a seperate server than push.murena.com). Trigger notifications on added channels. Observe no notification. Launch internal ntfy client and see that it has received notifications but failed to notify.

Remove added channels from internal ntfy client. Install standalone ntfy client from App Lounge. Install UP-Example from App Lounge. Open standalone ntfy client and add own topics. Use UP-Example and observe "INTERNAL_FAILURE" notification. Restart device, retry, observe same failure.

Disable standalone ntfy client's UnifiedPush setting, aiming to solve conflict. Use UP-Example and observe "INTERNAL_FAILURE" notification. Restart device, retry, observe same failure.

Reenable standalone ntfy client's UnifiedPush setting. Disable internal ntfy client via adb with the aim of solving conflict. Restart device. Use UP-Example and observe "INTERNAL_FAILURE" notification. Restart device, retry, observe same failure.
