Which firebase services require google play services on Android?

I'm working on a project where we have an Android tablet that cannot have google play services installed on it. Which features/services of firebase have a dependency on google play services to run?

Specifically I'm looking at real-time database, authentication, firestore, and firebase cloud messaging.

I spoke with a developer advocate that said that real-time database doesn't have that dependency, but I couldn't find any official documentation that states that.

Do I need Google Play Services?

Google Play services helps to ensure the security and reliability of an Android device, and keep devices updated with the latest security features. This includes: Google Play Protect, which can warn users if an app contains known malware.

Some Firebase products require Google Play Services, while others don't. Information on this is nowadays included in the Firebase documentation, so I recommend checking out dependencies of Firebase Android SDKs on Google Play services for the latest list.
