How to send notification instead of data when using FCM

Description/Steps to reproduce

Hey!

I'm trying to use the loopback-component-push with Firebase Cloud Message (FCM) instead of Google Cloud Message (GCM), since GCM is now deprecated.

In FCM there are two kinds of message: Notification and Data. They're better explained here, but the main difference is that Notifications are displayed in the notification tray, while Datas are not.

I'm trying to send notifications using the example. Everything works fine, except that on my App I'm only receiving Data messages. In other words, nothing is displayed on the notification tray.

When I send the message from the FCM Console, the notification is displayed, so I guess I might be missing some configuration here in the loopback-component-push.

Link to reproduction sandbox

The example can be used as a sandbox.

Expected result

The notification should be displayed in the notification tray, like it happens when sending the message from the FCM console:

I'm experiencing the same situation. Did you solve it?

Hey @fleita9! Unfortunately, no. I ended up using fcm-node instead.
