Android Push Notifications fail when app is in foreground

[brunobowden]

Summary

Push Notifications fail when app is in foreground. This might be "by design" but I don't think it's the right answer:

WORKS: App is in background
WORKS: App is installed but exited
FAILS: App is in foreground

Reproduction Steps

Send Firebase test message when app is in foreground.

Device:

• Nexus 5
• Android 6.0.1

Expected Behavior

Push notification is still shown.

@champ96k - be our guest. If you have a fix, then I can help push a notification on the staging server to test it with you... or you could setup a server yourself based on the documentation (it's not that hard).
