### [REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Currently the FirebaseMessagingService needs to make a call to a server to update when a token is refreshed. This is typically done in the modern way using kotlin + coroutines, but it's tough to launch a suspend function without a lifecycle aware scope. LifecycleService is the solution for this. Can we update FMS to extend from this instead?
