Android PubNub not receiving push notification via FCM

Question

I made an app which uses PubNub (version 4.xx) && FCM.

Server sends me a JSON according the following format:

{
    "pn_apns": {
        "aps": {
            "alert": "This is a push notification",
            "badge": 9,
            "sound": "bingbong.aiff",
            "payload": {
                "title": "Beastiality",
                "message": "xxxx"
            },
            "type": 1
        }
    },
    "pn_gcm": {
        "data": {
            "title": "Beastiality",
            "message": "xxxxx"
        }
    },
    "content": {
        "title": "Beastiality",
        "message": "xxxxxx"
    }
}

The pn_gcm is indicated, but I don't receive any push. If I make a push from Firebase console, it works fine. Is it a known issue or did I do something wrong?

PubNub Subscribe for Realtime Messages vs. Register for Push Notifications

Subscribe and push notifications (GCM and APNS) are not directly related in PubNub. You have to register for push notifications on channels and has nothing to do with the subscribe method.

Instructions:

• Follow PubNub docs to setup/config GCM .
• Make sure the device is registered for GCM push notifications
• Troubleshoot using PubNub mobile push troubleshooting guide
