      For Signal, they will know when and how often you receive Signal messages.

      Notifications are used to “activate” the app on your device. Then it will connect to Signal servers and download the encrypted messages.

      After the software on your device decrypted the message, then it has the sender details and message content.

      There are settings to control how much of that information is used when creating the local notification. Because other apps might log notifications.

      don’t know about iOS, but on Android Signal doesn’t send the content of messages through Google’s servers.
