Here is my tsx where i get the token:

// Get the messaging instance
const messagingInstance = getMessaging(getApp());

messagingInstance.setBackgroundMessageHandler(async (remoteMessage) => {
console.log("Message handled in the background!", remoteMessage);
console.log("Message Data:", remoteMessage.data);

}

return (

);
}

When i run: npx expo run:android,
the emulator starts fine, and logs "Your Firebase Token is :xxxx" to the console.

When i take this token and use it on firebase console to send a test message - nothing happens on the device.

Is there an obvious thing i might have forgotten here?
