Description
In many instances it is desirable to handle notifications differently depending on if the message was received while the app is in the foreground vs when it is in the background. There is currently no way to determine this right now.
The old Firebase plugin by Eddy had a 'foreground' boolean property to accomplish this. Then in the 'onMessage' callback you could decide how to handle it.

Research direction
Start by comparing the current Android onMessage callback behavior with the linked Eddy Firebase messaging documentation, then trace where the callback payload is assembled. Done means the callback exposes a foreground boolean that distinguishes foreground and background message delivery, with behavior consistent with the documented example.
