Answer 1

Update your play-services dependency -

com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1

Firebase needs the base play services library to function properly.

Answer 2

After a lot of circus, I found out the issue, During the migration of App from GCM to FCM, we have to remove the "Receiver" from AndroidManifest.xml.

Receiver to be Removed:

<receiver
     android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.GcmReceiver"
     android:exported="true"
     android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
         <category android:name="com.gnirt69.gcmexample"/>
     </intent-filter>
 </receiver>
