FCM notification not received when app is killed with multiple Firebase projects

I have followed this documentation and use multiple Firebase projects which are dynamically switched on login. As a result, I had to remove the google-services plugin and the google-services.json and set the configuration programmatically with FirebaseApp.initializeApp. Everything works great so far, but when the app is killed completely and receives a notification, there is an error and the notification is not received:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: Firebase-NotificationMessageHandler
    Process: com.example.app, PID: 8005
    java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.example.app. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:764)

In all other situations I receive the notifications accordingly. With the google-services plugin and the google-services.json I can receive messages by FCM even when the app is killed, but that's not an option, because I can't switch Firebase projects dynamically using the google-services plugin.

I always initialize the FirebaseApp as the default app: FirebaseApp.initializeApp(context, configuration)

Any hints on how to solve this?

As per documentation,

Notification Message - FCM automatically displays the message to end-user devices on behalf of the client app. Notification messages have a predefined set of user-visible keys and an optional data payload of custom key-value pairs.

Data Message - Client app is responsible for processing data messages. Data messages have only custom key-value pairs.

Here is the full article for Test FCM Notification with POSTMAN!

You should call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(context, configuration) in onCreate() of Application

Using data messages instead of notification messages fixed the issue. I can now dynamically switch Firebase projects and receive notifications, even when the app was killed / closed.
