Send Push Notification In Xamarin Forms Without Firebase

Issue

I am working in banking sector and we have different portals for managing employee information, performance etc. I want to send push notification in mobile app from our asp.net web service when a new event (e.g. a Line Manager has to approve any pending request) occurs. How can I send notification to mobile app from our servers(where the web service has been deployed)? We don't have rights to place employee data on cloud servers or cloud databases.

Hopefully this is your request:

We don't have rights to place employee data on cloud servers or cloud databases.

And not this:

As they are entirely different. If you want to send data to Android devices you need to use Firebase for that just like you need to use Apple's servers for iOS devices. However you don't need to have any database or store data on them.

You can use PushSharp nuget if you want to minimize server usage or some other solution.

Just for the record using Firebase (or other services like Azure) to send push notifications doesn't require you to place employee data on cloud servers either. Firebase and other solutions contain range of services then can be used independently and it seems that you consider them as all or nothing solution.
