WAKE_LOCK Android permission is no longer necessary since GCM deprecation in favor of FCM

[sunweiyang]

Google's official docs for migrating from GCM to FCM recommends to remove WAKE_LOCK permission:
https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/android-migrate-fcm

Since wake locks incur a significant penalty to battery life, can this library's documentation be updated to reflect this move to FCM?

Hi @sunweiyang
Thanks for this, this will be updated 😉

Hi, the release 4.0.0 of the library should solve this issue, feel free to reopen if something is missing 😉

It doesn't solve it. I'm presently using react-native-push-notification: "^6.0.0" and I do not get a push notification when the app is closed.

Hi,

You must create a channel, please read the readme for that.
