Fix app stuck in restart loop when requesting notification permissions

Fixes https://github.com/SchildiChat/SchildiChat-android/issues/235

Note: this disables a "security mechanism" added by upstream. I don't
think the attack vector this saves us from justifies completely breaking
login though. There may be a way to keep the mechanism effective by
checking for activities owned by the operating system, but that probably
requires a more elaborate signature check to be safe.
