our firebase Messaging Service Implementation: `public class ShahidFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {

private static final String TAG = ShahidFirebaseMessagingService.class.getSimpleName();
public static final String KEY_URL = "url";

@Override
public void onNewToken(String registrationToken) {
    super.onNewToken(registrationToken);
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
        Log.d("TOKEN", "--->> " + registrationToken);
    }
}

@Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {

    // Check Remote Message
    if (remoteMessage == null) {
        Log.e(TAG, "RemoteMessage is null");
        return;
    }

    // Check Notification In RemoteMessage
    if (remoteMessage.getNotification() == null) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Notification is null");
        return;
    }
    String messageId = remoteMessage.getMessageId();
    RemoteMessage.Notification remoteMessageNotification = remoteMessage.getNotification();
    String title = remoteMessageNotification.getTitle();
    String content = remoteMessageNotification.getBody();
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(content)) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Notification message content is null or empty");
        return;
    }
    Context context = getApplicationContext();
    Map<String, String> customDataMap = remoteMessage.getData();
    String deepLinkUrl = null;
    if (customDataMap != null && customDataMap.containsKey(KEY_URL)) {
        deepLinkUrl = customDataMap.get(KEY_URL);
    }
    Notification localNotification = NotificationHandler.getInstance(context).buildNotification(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, title, content, deepLinkUrl);
    // Using hash code since notification id is String by default
    NotificationHandler.getInstance(context).notify(Math.abs(messageId.hashCode()), localNotification);

}

}`

I found the problem. Firebase load a string with name and not with R.string… int var5 = var0.getResources().getIdentifier(“fcm_fallback_notification_channel_label”, “string”, var0.getPackageName()); Then Dexguard remove this string.

With these two lines in the dexguard configuration you specify to keep the string above and all the strings that start with “fcm_” -keepresources string/fcm_fallback_notification_channel_label -keepresources string/fcm_*

@TizioIncognito it’s working Thank you!, but I think it should be handled inside the Firebase library so I will keep the issue open
