Yes, we have uploaded the server key as you mentioned, but not working. Below are steps we have followed. Let us know if you need any further information

1. Created our application in google developer console
2. In google developer console, under "Library", Mobile APIs, click on "Google cloud messaging"
3. It is redirecting to FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
4. We clicked on "Get Started for Free" on home page FCM
5. Imported existing project from google developer console
6. We clicked on app, in the app dashboard, opened application settings.
7. Downloaded google-services.json, copied to android project folder
8. Clicked on "Cloud Messaging" tab on FCM application dashboard. Copied server key and went to shephertz dashboard.
9. Under Unified Notifications > Settings > Android > View > Add Key > pasted the server key copied in above step.
Note: Serer key is about 153 characters length, but it is accepting only 51 characters.
10. Also followed steps documented at https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/client
11. Getting below error in logs
Push Android Worker Exception : com.google.android.gcm.server.InvalidRequestException: HTTP Status Code: 401

Hi,

All the steps which you have mentioned are correct only the server key which you have added that you have to change. Instead of copying server key of 153 character , copy Legacy Server key which is available below on same panel.

It will resolve your issue.
