Fcm token refresh

Similarly to how GCM works, the FCM token can change due to token-rotation . Note: the token rotation is a rare-event. Don’t expect to see it often. But still, if you care about the token you should implement onTokenRefresh() to be informed of changes.

Every time the device token is changed , It is reflected in onTokenRefresh() method. For getting the device token when it is changed, we can call this method to get the refreshed token. and to get the device token at any time we can use FirebaseInstanceId. getInstance().

It doesn’t expire though.1 Şub 2017
