Config wise I followed the documentation.
app/build.gradle

    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.0"
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"

Environment

Android
RN: v0.56
RNFirebase: v5.0.0-rc4
Module: FCM - Messaging

Notification works fine. Messaging crashes.

I trigger notifications / messages with the web API through https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send.

Crashes in both foreground and background(minimized, not killed). App does not include the headless JS thing to listen for messages in the background.

@Salakar Hi ,
When I send a firebase console notification to my application the application is crash and close.
I'm using
react-native-firebase": "^5.1.0

:wave: [Solved] :+1:

RN version 5.1.0

I did few of these steps:
:heavy_check_mark: Do check your libraries versions are same in android which you imported
:heavy_check_mark: You can check what versions of dependencies are resolved using gradlew app:dependencies on your android folder. All play-services libs should resolve to the same version, and all support libs should resolve to the same version.
:heavy_check_mark: If you are sending your notification from firebase console then don't forget to mention the channel.

The plot thickens... Turns out my API FCM Server was sending notification payloads and data only payloads upon the same event, which is fine for iOS. But android... Well the notification is fine.

Its crashing on data only payloads.

Looking at this https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/906 but still having same problem no matter the config.

devpascoe picture devpascoe on 17 Dec 2018

Update...
Having these issues on data only messages to android. Tried all the configs, same result as original error.

In the end i had to remove from android's app manifest https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/messaging/android#(Optional)-Background-Messages and abandon that feature of background data only messages

  <service android:name="io.invertase.firebase.messaging.RNFirebaseBackgroundMessagingService" />

i solved my crashing issue by adding:

<meta-data
      android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
      android:resource="@drawable/ic_small" />

to the AndroidManifest file inside <application></application>, and creating an png icon (18 x 18 px, ic_small.png) at the path app\src\main\res\drawable
