Get credentials for FCM and ADM

A3L Messaging depends on individual messaging solutions for message delivery. Therefore, you must get both Google-provided and Amazon-provided credentials.

• For ADM, first obtain credentials and then add an api key to your project.
• For FCM, first create a Firebase project and register your app with Firebase. After obtaining a google-services.json configuration file, add the file to your project. Be sure to add the mentioned classpath to your build.gradle file.
