Google recently changed stuff and moved from GCM to FCM.

Existing applications that already use GCM can continue working with GCM.
New applications must be configured according to FCM.

Note that the FCM configuration detailed in the firebase site is not required in MobileFirst Foundation 8.0. Instead you need to follow the exact instructions specified in the MobileFirst Foundation documentation for FCM. You can find this documentation here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/notifications/sending-notifications/#google-cloud-messaging--firebase-cloud-messaging

  1. Visit the Firebase Console.
  2. Create a new project and provide a project name.
  3. Click on the Settings “cog wheel” icon and select Project settings.
  4. Click the Cloud Messaging tab to generate a Server API Key and a Sender ID. and click Save.

To receive notifications in client applications, follow the client-side documentation: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/notifications/handling-push-notifications/android/
