I think you are going in the wrong direction. The problem has nothing to do with encoding/charset. The problem is likely with the type. It should probably be JSON, not text.

I can write anything in the index.php, it gives the same warnings. the only difference is...
pointing direct to the index.php - application/octet-stream,
let the server get the index.php - media type=text/html;charset=utf-8
absolute no matter which content, even if the file is empty. strange... isn't it? Something seems broken here?

Gotify gets something, two times: [97;46m POST [0m "/message?token=[masked]"
My hope is now, they do something...
It took me 60 hours to find out how this works, with help from the gotify team, i have a working solution for you if you need such.
Install Python - https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3100/
run in CMD:
run the Server with "py proxy.py" - after Python Code is done and customized with your ports and GotifyAppToken
Traccar Config:
<entry key='event.forward.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='event.forward.url'>http://localhost:8083/</entry>
<entry key='event.forward.header'>Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8</entry>
Python Code see: https://github.com/f1cscari/gotify-for-traccar/blob/main/.gitignore/.gitignore
So i try change the Server start from using windows charset to UTF-8 - easy? Hell no....

It seems, i am going trough every Problem Traccar had to get somehow notification working.
Today, there's no wrapper.conf to change the charset. Building one, adding the suggested line, does change nothing.

Today, theres no "characterEncoding=UTF-8" nor a "characterEncoding=cp1251" in the traccar.xml neither in the default.xml Settings.
https://www.traccar.org/configuration-file/ <- nope
Where is it and how to change it? -> https://www.traccar.org/mysql/
