Some times ago Google Play restricts the use of high risk or sensitive permissions, including the SMS or Call Log permission groups.

Before going further lets discuss something about FCM behavior. There are two types of messages in FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging): Display Messages : These messages trigger the onMessageReceived() callback only when your app is in foreground.
