How firebase cloud messaging initialized in android app

After adding fcm to my project I am wondering: how does it works?
I mean - there is no any firebase integration code in my app. I just have followed setup guide, added dependency and plugin in build.gradle.
How does firebase code get called? Is it use some kind of intent filter?

The technique used to initialize the Firebase SDK is explained here: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/12/how-does-firebase-initialize-on-android.html

There is a little trick that the Firebase SDKs for Android use to install a hook early in the process of an application launch cycle. It introduces a ContentProvider to implement both the timing and Context needed to initialize an SDK, but without requiring the app developer to write any code.
