Got it as well. Sweden. What I noticed was that the airbnb logo was red insured if Grey in the notification. Could it be a test of changing the notification logo color?

#62Maybe they are Testing how many People will write about this on yc
As another commenter mentioned, it's at least a good marketing campaign, causing me to open the app for the first time in months. Or it might be to gather a baseline of how many people react to their notifications, regardless of their contents? (Perhaps to immediately go to the notifications settings to disable them)
Edit: if the notification is sent by an attacker, does the attacker get access to firebase metrics as well? (Guessing they at least contain info about how many people opened the app)

#63Autocorrect kills me I meant to say the airbnb logo was red in the notification instead of grey. Maybe a color change test that wasn't meant to go public?

#69There is a change to Push Notification behaviour in Android 12, which all apps need to update to by November according to my team mate. So this is likely what it seems - someone made an enhancement and was testing the new behaviour on Android 12 devices.
