title: Firebase Cloud Messaging Doesn't Create Push Notifications but Gets Information
body: <p>I was working through this tutorial (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsWHzU1DxjM" rel="noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsWHzU1DxjM</a>) to try and put push notifications into my iOS app. I was able to successfully get the certificate for APNS and set the "push notification" and "background modes" capabilities to on. Also, Firebase is able to get the info from the notification when I send one from the firebase console. However, when the app is running in the background the banner notifications never appear. I feel like I may have had a problem converting the tutorial from Objective-C to Swift because the tutorial was in Objective-C, but I'm not sure. I put my AppDelegate class and the program output if that helps at all.</p>

      connectToFcm()
  
      NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(
          self,
          selector: #selector(tokenRefreshCallback),
          name: kFIRInstanceIDTokenRefreshNotification,
          object: nil)
  
      let allNotificationTypes = UIUserNotificationType(arrayLiteral: UIUserNotificationType.Sound, UIUserNotificationType.Alert, UIUserNotificationType.Badge)
      let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: allNotificationTypes, categories: nil)
      application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)

      // Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
  }
  
  func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {

      FIRMessaging.messaging().disconnect()

      // If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.

      }
  
      }

                   fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -&gt; Void) {
      // If you are receiving a notification message while your app is in the background,
      // this callback will not be fired till the user taps on the notification launching the application.
      // TODO: Handle data of notification
