I don't want to build an application for my web site. However, I want to send push notifications to Android devices. Is this possible?

Pushed allows you to send real-time notifications without developing your own app to iOs, Android and Desktop devices.
You can use third-party service like Pushed (https://pushed.co/) or Spontit (https://spontit.com, https://api.spontit.com). Or you can setup the website as a Chrome-app on the phone and then you'll be able to send notifications through Chrome.
All push notifications requests for Android devices go through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Google's service which delivers them to the device. Pusher's SDKs and API are abstracted above FCM as well as Apple's APNs service so that you can deliver push notifications to both platforms with one request.
How it is possible? It's definitely possible -- you don't have to use Firebase to deliver push notifications. You can roll out your own notification solution or consider a paid product such as Pushy (pushy.me) which does not rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging.
The answer to the question is simply NO, you need to register an app to google C2DM server, to be able to send push notification to this device.

It depends on your requirements. You can use third-party service like Pushed (https://pushed.co/) or Spontit (https://spontit.com, https://api.spontit.com).

In both scenarious you'll need to advise your users to install the app on the phone which will subscribe to notifications.
