Do you need working notifications on GrapheneOS? The official Google Play releases can be installed and used in the regular app sandbox on GrapheneOS thanks to a compatibility layer. In contrast to circumventing the app sandbox and obtaining a vast amount of highly privileged access, Google Play receives no special access or privileges on GrapheneOS. The compatibility layer, on the other hand, teaches it how to work within the whole app sandbox. Because GrapheneOS doesn't use Google Play even when it's installed, it's not used as a backend for the OS services as it would be elsewhere.

Because Google Play apps are like regular apps on GrapheneOS, you have to install them in a specific user or work profile, and they're only available to that profile. It can only be used by apps in the same profile, and they must explicitly select to utilize it. It functions in the same way as any other software and has no unique features. It can't access data from other apps and requires specific user approval to access profile data or standard permissions, just like any other app. Apps in the same profile can communicate with mutual consent, and sandboxed Google Play is no exception.

Since GrapheneOS largely simply has to coax these apps into continuing to run without being able to employ any of the normal invasive OS integration, the core functionality and APIs are virtually totally supported already. Support for dynamically downloaded/loaded modules is also given via a compatibility layer (dynamite modules). To get additional Google Play functionality operating, the compatibility layer will be continually enhanced and improved.

For Play Store app installation, updates, and removal, GrapheneOS provides a separate compatibility layer that instructs it to use the regular unprivileged approach available to sandboxed apps. It asks the user whether they want to allow it to be an app source, and then it asks if they want to install, update, or remove the app. When possible, it will use Android 12's support for unattended updates, which means it will be able to update modern (API 29+) apps if it was already the installer for the previous version.
