            See New connected apps can no longer be created in Spring ‘26 for more details.

            If you have an existing Firebase project associated with your app, log in to the Google Cloud Console and select the project for your app. In the Enabled APIs & services page, confirm that the Firebase Cloud Messaging API is enabled for the project.

            1. If you have an existing Firebase project associated with your app, open the existing project. If not, create a project for your app in the Google Firebase Console.
              Important
              Important If you previously set up notifications for your Android app, make sure that you proceed with the next steps using the existing Firebase project associated with your app. To avoid any disruption in your app’s notifications, confirm that the sender ID in the Firebase project matches your app’s existing sender ID.
            2. In the Firebase project, click the cog icon next to Project Overview, and then click Project settings.
            3. Collect the Firebase project ID.
              1. Click the General tab.
              2. Record the value in the Project ID field. You need the project ID for a later step.
            4. Generate an Admin SDK private key for your Firebase service account.
              1. Select the Service accounts tab, and then click Generate new private key.
              2. Download the JSON file that contains the private key. Note the location of the downloaded file, because you need it later.
                The file name format for this private key is similar to Pc-api-1234567890123456789-123-firebase-adminsdk-a1bcd-a1234bc5678.json.
            5. Create your mobile connected app in App Manager.
            6. In the Mobile App Settings section of your mobile connected app, complete these fields.
              1. In the App Platform field, select Android.
              2. Select Push Messaging.
              3. In the Platform field, select Android.
              4. In the Firebase Admin SDK Private Key field, upload the JSON file that contains the private key that you generated for your Firebase service account.
              5. In the Project ID field, enter the project ID that you collected from the Firebase project.
            7. Save your changes.
            Note
            Note If you update the push messaging fields for an existing mobile connected app, and the app is distributed to other Salesforce orgs in a managed package, make sure to distribute the push messaging update to all orgs that use the app. To distribute the push messaging update, upload a new managed package version, and then install the new package in all orgs that use the app. See Installed Packages for more information.
