Not receiving GCM notifications with app in background and content-available=1

I developing an Ionic 2 app and testing on Android emulator.

When the app is in background and the notification has no title, no message and content-available=1 the notification should be sent directly to app notification handler. But its not happening.

I can receive notifications with the app in foreground.

If I have a title and a message I receive the notification in the notification area. But I need to send the notification directly to the app in silent mode, without pass by the notification area.

Here is my code to send push notifications:

{
   "delay_while_idle": true,
   "priority": "high",
   "sound": "default",
   "color": "FFFF00",
   //payload   
   "data": {
       "content-available": "1",
       "some_var": "some_value",
       "ohter_var": "other_value",       
   }
}

How could I sent silent notifications to my Android app?

Android GCM and FCM both also work when app background.

For that you need to add below service classes at manifest with intent Filter.

<!-- [START gcm_listener] -->
        <service
            android:name=".gcm.GcmListener"
            android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <service
            android:name=".gcm.TokenRefreshService"
            android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.iid.InstanceID" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <service
            android:name=".gcm.RegistrationIntentService"
            android:exported="false" />
        <!-- [END gcm_listener] -->


public class GcmListener extends GcmListenerService {
}


public class TokenRefreshService extends InstanceIDListenerService {
    @Override
    public void onTokenRefresh() {
        super.onTokenRefresh();
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, RegistrationIntentService.class);
        startService(intent);
    }
}

To get token:

public class RegistrationIntentService extends IntentService {
    // TODO: Rename actions, choose action names that describe tasks that this
    private String TAG = "RegistrationIntentService";

    public RegistrationIntentService() {
        super("RegistrationIntentService");
    }


    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
     InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(this);
        String token = instanceID.getToken("PRODUCT_ID",
                GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE, null);
}
}
