Research direction

Start with the Android “Always show notifications when the application is in foreground” section of packages/firebase-messaging/README.md and the showNotificationsWhenInForeground setting shown in the report. Trace the Android messaging entry point that handles this option and verify the app displays notifications while foregrounded; add or update coverage if the repository provides a relevant test.
