 /**
  * We're extending RNFirebaseMessagingService here instead of
  * FirebaseMessagingService which is not ideal but let's us work around an
  * Android limitation. If there are a couple of FirebaseMessagingServices
  * declared in manifest, only the first one would get all the notifications.
  * So we need to find a way to have only one service that implements this.
  *
  * There are a couple of solutions here:
  * 1. We could have both services declared and only one of them would handle
  * the intents. Then it would check the intent and forward it to
  * another service. This solution is problematic as the second service would
  * need to listen for a different set of intents that effectively duplicate
  * all the notifications intents.
  * 2. We can instantiate RNFirebaseMessagingService here and call its callbacks
  * which sounds like a good solution. But then, some mechanisms would not work
  * correctly, e.g. we would need to somehow take care of the Context.
  * 3. This solution, in which we extend RNFirebaseMessagingService, would
  * consist of implementing the callbacks and either handling them or calling
  * super methods. In near future we plan to get rid of
  * RNFirebaseMessagingService and at that point super methods will no longer be
  * called and this class could start implementing FirebaseMessagingService.
  *
  * There's nothing that makes 1st and 2nd solution impossible, but 3rd one is
  * the easiest in terms of making it safe.
