Tool for bash script to send push notification to my phone? (sh.itjust.works)

I can have a script trigger a notification to other people by typing in a Facebook Messenger group chat, but my phone won't receive a push notification since I've already "read" the message when the script sends it.

Any ideas for tools which can trigger a push notification from a bash script?

FOSS solutions are of course preferred, but not critical :)

UnifiedPush lets you receive Android notifications from a server. Ntfy in particular lets you create URLs that receive notifications. You can post to that URL using the ntfy CLI, Curl or the programming language of your choice.

Wow, ntfy seems pretty nifty!

It looks like the URLs are public, but for my use case, this isn't critical. Thanks!

Edit: Wow, I can't believe how simple this was to set up.

+1 for ntfy.sh

It's been reliable for my homelab notifications for a couple of years. I (voluntarily) give them money.
