FCM notifications not working in release app

Question

I am trying to send FCM notifications (between users on sending messages, friend requests etc.) in release app which is not receiving but they are sending/receiving very well in debug apk, i have searched about this and found some solutions which are not working for me

like this, I placed it in pro-guard rules but not working

 -keep class com.google.firebase.* {*;}

In my AndroidManifest.xml

        <service
            android:name=".notifications.MyFirebaseMessaging"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>

        <service
            android:name=".notifications.MyFirebaseInstanceId"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>

and other dependencies, I am not including them here as the app is work fine in debug mode

Edited

I already have

Generated Release SHA-1 and SHA-256 keys
Add them in firebase console
Also added Google console app-signing SHA-1 and SHA-256 keys in firebase
Then download the Google-services.json file and add it in app module

You have not added your SHA-1 key for the release to your firebase console and hence not existing in your google-services.json.

Generate your SHA-1 for release
Add your release SHA-1 to firebase console
Download and use new google-services.json.

If you're using Google play app-signing. Make sure the key being used by play store to sign your releases is also added in step 2

i don't know the path is right or not but where should it be ? – mr. groot Dec 29 '20 at 06:58
For debug , there is a different SHA-1 key and for released there is a different one. For released you need to create a jks file and then you need to add that file's path while creating SHA-1 for released one. – Priyanka Rajput Dec 29 '20 at 07:02
i Found my key here C:\Users\SRT\Desktop\TeamUp key\key.jks – mr. groot Dec 29 '20 at 07:12
You need to get SHA-1 key with following command keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\SRT\Desktop\TeamUp key\key.jks -alias name – Priyanka Rajput Dec 29 '20 at 07:22
hey i'm sorry but i did not get it, i am adding an image of generate signed bundle or apk form in question then please take a look at that and tell me what is missing there – mr. groot Dec 29 '20 at 07:29
This is generating signed apk, I am talking about SHA-1 generation for signed apk – Priyanka Rajput Dec 29 '20 at 07:55
and how can i generate that SHA-1 for signed apk you are talking about, please help – mr. groot Dec 29 '20 at 08:12

Well i found the solution of the problem by my own during brushing my teeth last night. both the answers helped me a lot by guiding me that i need a SHA keys for the release version as i don't know about them so they are very helpful for me.

I have successfully generated SHA keys and store them in firebase console but the notifications was still not working, so i observe that i did not allow to access firebase notification services by the Proguard Rules so i just add this line there

 -keepclassmembers class com.example.app.notifications.* {
      *;
    }

Now it is working magically.
