You can trigger Function attached to a specific event.
Here the event could be: buckets.[1].create where [1] is your bucket name.

In the function's body,
you can send an email or a push notification to your device.

Hi, you will need to create a function as mentioned in the above message but there are more ways to do this - for example getting URL of file and then triggering function (which I assume is what your app might be doing)?

push notifications example:https://github.com/open-runtimes/examples/tree/main/dart/send_push_notification

Take a look here for messaging API : https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/4968

First
You'll need to do as @orchid falcon and add event trigger to your function by bucket
For that you can read:

Storage events - https://appwrite.io/docs/events#storage-events
Function - https://appwrite.io/docs/functions

After that you can use @dim oasis example to send a push notification when your function is being triggered

It depends on the scenario I guess, you can utilize the functions or the realtime event. But if the needed is something like push notification, you can use the function feature of appwrite then. Or else if the needed is when the user is uploaded files and you need to notify your application to update the UI, then you can use the realtime
