title: iOS Push Notifications with Firebase
body: <p>I have an issue, and can't figure out what is the problem. I have integrated Firebase in my app. Everything was OK until I updated to xCode 8.3 and Swift3.1.</p>
  
  <p>I receive the notification in Foreground in the console from the FCM but when I enter in Background or even in Foreground </p>
  
  <pre><code>func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any],
                   fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -&gt; Void)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is never executed and I'm not able to handle the notification</p>
  
  <p>This is what I am receiving from the FCM </p>
  
  <pre><code>[AnyHashable("from"): 1234456, AnyHashable("sender_name"): Driver, AnyHashable("type"): NEW_MESSAGE, AnyHashable("text"): text ;)]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In AppDelegate I have the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    import UIKit
