Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) delivers push notifications across platforms. I extend FirebaseMessagingService and override onMessageReceived() to handle incoming messages. Device tokens obtained via FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().token register with backend. Notification channels define priority and behavior on Android 8+. Data messages execute app logic, while notification messages show system notifications. RemoteMessage contains data and notification payloads. Topics enable broadcast messaging with subscribeToTopic(). Background and foreground messages require different handling. Analytics track delivery and engagement. FCM ensures reliable, real-time communication for user engagement and updates.
