Research direction

Start with the linked Firebase messaging documentation and inspect the plugin's existing notification setup instructions. Clarify how an app obtains and uses its registration token, and update the Firebase Console delivery steps to match the current interface, including any needed screenshots. Done means a newcomer can configure the app and send a test notification without unanswered registration questions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The documentation does not clearly explain how to "register" a tabris app on firebase server to enable the app to receive notifications:

Send to a single device
From Firebase console Notification section, click New Message.
Enter the text of your message in the Message Text field.
Set the target to Single Device.
Check the logs for the InstanceID token, copy and paste it into the Firebase console Token field.
If you cannot find the token in your logs, click on the LOG TOKEN button in the application and the token will be logged in logcat.
Click on the Send Message button.
If your application is in the foreground you should see the incoming message printed in the logs. If it is in the background, a system notification should be displayed. When the notification is tapped, the application should return to the quickstart application.

Is the app registered by "token"? Is there a single token for each tabris app or is there a single token for developer app? How to access/generate these tokens?

Or does it register by its url/name? (com.my.app.whatelse)

There is no (more) "send message" in firebase console, there is "new campaign" with many variants and options, some screenshots would help.
