[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment
  • Operating System version: Windows 10 Enterprise, 1803
  • Firebase SDK version: 6.8.0
  • Library version: _____
  • Firebase Product: Cloud Messaging (auth, database, storage, etc)
[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

The Firebase message object takes Map<String, String> type for the data node. There is no support to send Map<String, Object> in the data node. With the legacy GCM protocol, it was possible to send multilevel map/JSON in the data node. Having this behaviour changed, would break the clients. If we convert the Object to String, this would break the clients.
