Ask to buy on Android

I am trying to set up Ask to Buy for my child's ipad but I can't find an option for having notifications sent to my Android device. Does this only work on Apple products?

iPad, 15

Ask to buy notifications My kids each got iPads this week. They are 9th generation. I set them both up for ask to buy. One of them sends me a text for approval. The other comes through as a notification. How do I get it to come as a text for both? I only see how to turn ask to buy on or off, not preferences of notifications

Ask to Buy Ask to Buy not working or sending notifications from my sons Iphone mini 12. He updated his phone, I have turned off and on the Ask to Buy setting and nothing. He is sharing his purchases with me and still not getting the requests. Not sure what to do at this point as I have tried many different solutions and nothing is changing or coming through and now my other sons Ipad Mini is no longer sending notifications.
