Request to support androidx library

See original GitHub issue

I have upgraded react native, react and all libraries to latest versions. All of them support androidx. However, your library is lagging behind. Migrating to androidx removes the android.support dependency. This dependency and androidx conflict with each other and, frankly, share the same functionality. However, react-native-fcm depends on android.support.* dependencies.

When I try to compile code for android by running react-native run-android, which, in turn, runs gradle assemble, I get the following errors:
