Research direction

Start with the initialize_app options in the Firebase Admin Python SDK documentation and read firebase_admin/_http_client.py around line 32, where the current retry settings are defined. Done means an app can receive a custom retry policy during initialization and Firebase Cloud Messaging uses those settings.

Description

type: feature request

Hi there!

It seems as though there is currently no way to supply a different retry policy when initializing an app (it's not one of the options specified here, like httpTimeout). This would be useful for customization, as we'd like to modify some of the settings set here.

Thank you!
