Android Airtag Detection

Android notification screen reads: Tracker Traveling With You. Unknown Apple Airtag detected. The owner of this tracker can see its location.

I really do appreciate that recent Android releases notice and notify a user when an Airtag is accompanying them. Stalking via surreptitious Airtag is a real thing which happens.

One might think that the specific phrasing of "unknown Apple Airtag" implies the existence of a known Apple Airtag, but if such functionality exists I have not found it. I would really love to have a "it's ok, that one is mine" function to suppress repeated notifications about the Airtag in my luggage.
