Let me check what exactly triggers the notification, then we maybe can wrap that in a check for the presence of Google PlayServices.

OK, found the problem. The SDK checks upon initialization if ExposureNotifications are enabled, which makes a call to the Google PlayServices and triggers the notification if they are not up to date. If we prevent this call when an update is needed, the notification will not show up. This is fixed in https://github.com/DP-3T/dp3t-sdk-android/pull/164
