If you are just starting to use GCM, instead of creating a project in the Google Developers Console, do it in the Firebase Console. After creating the project, simply use the auto-generated Server Key. Here are the steps where to find the Server Key:

1. Go to your Firebase Console and click on CREATE NEW PROJECT.
2. Fill in your desired Project Name and select your Country. After this, the new Project should be active.
3. Then on left-side panel, click on the gear button and select Project Settings.
4. Then go to the Cloud-Messaging Tab.

For old GCM projects, you can simply Import the project to the Firebase Console:

1. Go to your Firebase Console and click on IMPORT PROJECT.
2. Select the project you want to import and your country.
3. Click on ADD FIREBASE. After this, the new Project should be active.
4. Then on left-side panel, click on the gear button and select Project Settings.
5. Then go to the Cloud-Messaging Tab.
