How does fcm notification works when app is swiped from task manager

Question

As I understood from here, swiping the app from the recent tasks kills it. In that case how can fcm still send notification to apps killed in that matter ?

On some devices that's not possible, so surely some app process is still running to receive these data notifications.

On Android, Firebase Cloud Messaging works in tandem with Play services, which runs in a privileged process that can't be killed. It's responsible for receiving the message and passing that along to the destination app.

so what happens with devices like huawei when notifications don't work. They remove that privileged process by default ? – sam winston Jun 15 '18 at 02:31
Firebase isn't supported on devices without Play services. – Doug Stevenson Jun 15 '18 at 02:33
is huawei y7 supported because I have white listed the app but still nothing – sam winston Jun 15 '18 at 11:52
I don't know anything about that device. This sounds like a whole different question than the one you originally asked. – Doug Stevenson Jun 15 '18 at 14:47
