Push Notifications in Chat Sample

To receive push notifications you should have a Firebase account and Firebase Cloud Messaging project How QuickBlox Push Notifications work: (https://quickblox.com/developers/SimpleSample-messages_users-android#How_QuickBlox_Push_Notifications_work)

If you already have GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) account you need to migrate from GCM to FCM: (https://quickblox.com/developers/How_to_migrate_from_GCM_to_FCM)

If you have no FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) account please make the first part (from 1 to 14 points) of this manual: (https://quickblox.com/developers/How_to_migrate_from_GCM_to_FCM#Creation_of_a_new_project_in_the_FCM_admin_console_and_its_synchronization_with_your_app)
