Firebase uses GCM for message transport. Based on the following references

  1. GCM Size Limit = 2KB (here)
  2. From FIrebase documentation size limit = 4KB (here)

Anyway if we are considering a 2KB payload size. it will come around 2000 characters.

remember to keep the message size low as much as possible.

UPDATE

The console will allow maximum of 1000 characters
