You should not change the name of the file if you intend to use it. If you're going to use different google-services.json file depending on the app environment, you should Configure Product Flavors.

See Firebase 2.0 - how to deal with multiple flavors (environments) of an android app?

You cannot change the google service file name. You can use flavour to manage the google-services.json file.
Like this:

app/src/
flavor1/google-services.json
flavor2/google-services.json

Look here for detail.

Also, very important to note : You should not delete the google-services.json file from your app folder. Firebase will automatically use google-services.json file from flavor folder if it is present and neglect the google-services.json file from app folder. [Thanks @KrishnaAgarwal]
