In this step, you configure your application project to use Firebase Cloud Messaging.

In Android Studio, open your project and switch to the Project view.
Copy the google-services.json file that you downloaded from the Firebase console into the app-level root directory of your project:

Figure 1. Adding the google-services.json to the app root in Android Studio.

To make the file available to the app, add the Google services Gradle plugin (com.google.gms.google-services) as a dependency to your project.

In your root-level Gradle file:

Kotlin
Groovy

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    // ...

    // Add the dependency for the Google services Gradle plugin
    id("com.google.gms.google-services") version "4.4.2" apply false
}

build.gradle

plugins {
    // ...

    // Add the dependency for the Google services Gradle plugin
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.4.2' apply false
}

In your app-level Gradle file:

Kotlin
Groovy

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    // ...

    // Add the Google services Gradle plugin
    id("com.google.gms.google-services")
}

build.gradle

plugins {
    // ...

    // Add the Google services Gradle plugin
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}

Switch to the Android view in Android Studio, and add the android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission inside the <manifest> element in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
Adding post notification permission to AndroidManifest.xml
```
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" />
```
