Original Note:
Signal's provided client for Android, while open source, depends on Google Play Services/GCM for notifications which is not open source or auditable, which in itself is a vulnerability risk. Additionally, Law enforcement has used these notifications to spy on cell phones. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-google-push-notification-surveillance/
