Kivy use Android Notifications

Is it possible to use python and/or kivy to send local notifications on ios? Really it does not have to vibrate, just a number icon and maybe a real-time message would work.

Edit:

Looking at the comments it seems that Pyobjus would be able to accomplish this, but i am not exactly sure how.

Ugh! my dreams are spoiled. My hackintosh is not yet complete and pybojus needs a mac! So it looks like this is going to be an Android app. But I still have no idea how to do this.

Since you've changed your topic to android...I can help!

Kivy has a sister project, plyer, providing a platform independent way to access different apis through a single pythonic interface. There are quite a few interfaces implemented for Android, including notifications, so you can use plyer directly and/or look at the code to see how it works.

As it happens I've previously made a short video about the android stuff, which you can find here. It's only a very quick introduction, but might help.
