Are random number generators security holes?

If I retrieve a random number from a database (e.g. RAND() in SQL Server) or using a programming language and send this in some form back to a client machine, is there an economic chance I will be sending an indicator of what’s in my server’s memory that might form a security problem (like revealing my schema, etc)?

Why are cloud services needed for push notifications?

We currently have a customer that wants us to implement push notifications to our app. The problem is that for this customer, security is really, really important…
I am not able to find any official documents, that state that the only way to send push a notification to an Android or iOS device via internet is the use of FCM / APNS.
Sadly, I don’t think that I can convince the decision makers to open ports to a Google / Apple service, if I can’t show them that this is a real necessity.
