Our family has a bunch of people whose birthdays we need to keep track of. Those birthdays matter to everyone, so we would like to have one shared birthday calendar. The calendar should come with an android app that at least sends reminder notifications about birthdays.

What selfhosted solution are you using for this? What can you recommend?

There are a multitude of calendar apps, tho I know of none specifically for birthdays exclusively.

Those are the ones I know of that have an Android capable app. There may be others. Maybe others here will chime in with some options.

Easier to just host an .ics file with all the events in some website and let everyone use whatever calendar app they like.

Absolutely. I was just going by what the OP requested. But you're right. There are other ways to skin the cat.
