Has iOS Firebase SDK support to background updates to notify users?

Question

I want to use firebase but on of the features to this is when the application is in background I want to be notified (maybe create a notification) when the data is changed. Is it possible? Firebase supports this?

iOS has some limitations on this topic, but, I want to know if Firebase SDK support this feature or how i can implement this?

For Android, I think i can use a service to keep data updated and notify the users.

Nope. You'll have to roll your own for that.
