Push Notifications instead of emails

@abizerlokhandwala you could look into OneSignal for this.
The issue with push notifications on the web is that Safari / iOS does not support web push notifications.
So we have to use email for Safari + push notifications on Android (only for people who have given approval).

@Saunved We can treat email and push notifs as different notification modes, users can choose what they would prefer.
As for push notifications, I was looking into AWS SNS, as most of our stack is built on AWS. We could have a comparison study with OneSignal and decide.
We haven't started working on this idea yet, it's not too late to take a decision on this.

I don't have any experience with SNS. OneSignal is quite reliable and works 99% of the times (on Android at least). I like the idea of having two separate modes, but it might get a little complicated for the user during the registration process (especially if they decide to allow notifications on the interface but block them when the actual pop up shows up). I've seen this happen before and it's complicated to reverse the block.
