It's entirely possible that a different app (that sells your location data) notified FlightRadar.

Turns out it's Apple itself that "sells" my data. Most likely because of I have Siri enabled with location access to "frequent places" or "important locations"... I'm quite disappointed. I thought this data wasn't shared with third parties, but as usual I didn't read the TOS/Privacy word by word...

Wow, did not expect that from Apple. Disappointing indeed!

Digging deeper it seems these notifications are a one-way street, so Flightradar24 app may not even know it was pushed. It seems like a local on-device notification. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/...
