There are 2 types of Firebase push-notifications:

1- Notification message(Display message) -> -- 1.1 If you choose this variant, the OS will create it self a notification if app is in Background and will pass the data in the intent. Then it's up to the client to handle this data.

-- 1.2 If the app is in Foreground then the notification it will be received via callback-function in the FirebaseMessagingService and it's up to the client to handle it.

2- Data messages(up to 4k data) -> These messages are used to send only data to the client(silently) and it's up to the client to handle it for both cases background/foreground via callback-function in FirebaseMessagingService
