As others have said, there is no push notification support from Voyager or Lemmy. But you can subscribe to an RSS feed of your inbox and use some RSS reader to get notifications about new messages.
IIRC, Voyager doesn't provide any notification capability. (At least not the version I use from Droid-ify).
It's never bothered me, as the only things I want notifications for are extremely limited. But I get how others might want the option.
It's likely because regular Android notifications all go via Google services. I'm not sure why the dev doesn't add the ability to use Ntfy.sh or any of the other non-Google options, though.
There's likely to be an existing feature request for it, though.
