Firebase API initialization failure

Question

I tried using FCM first time(No prior experience of GCM). So, i just copied code from quickstart-android-push-notifs and set-up the dashboard

as i send a message from dashboard, the app force closes, here are related files

---

app level build.gradle dependencies

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.+'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.4.0'
}

logs:

Answer 1

You should insert this code on build.gradle

I am fixed now.
