This topic describes how to configure Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to implement push notifications in an app for Android.

Configure Google Firebase

If this is your first time configuring Google FCM push, perform the following steps.
If your app has been configured with an old version of FCM push before, you need to find the original project and go directly to Step 12. You do not need to update and launch the app.
If your app has been configured with an old version of FCM before, but the original project cannot be found, follow the steps in sequence. The app needs to be built and updated before being launched. This operation is only effective for the latest version of the app, whereas earlier versions of the app will not be able to receive push notifications. After the app is updated and launched, you are recommended to guide customers to update to the latest version.
