Shameless plug: I did something similar earlier this year[1]. But instead of running the bot locally, I run it on Google App Engine to provide an HTTPS API. I also have an Android app to call the API to forward Android notifications.

My motivation is a little bit different. I made this because Telegram has great Android Auto support, and also has an easy to use Bots API, so I can convert non-Android-Auto-compatible notifications into Android Auto notifications. I explained my motivation in detail in a blog post. [2]
