According to the official Github of react-native-fcm, this library is depreciated. You can use the react-native-firebase for generating notification. I was able to get the notifications working in about 2 hours for android. If you want the code I can share it. good luck.

Update - Sorry I couldn't answer earlier because of my office account.

This is my code for showing android foreground notifications.

firebase.messaging()
        .subscribeToTopic(this.state.user.user_name)
        .then(response => console.log('response from FCM TOPIC' + response))
        .catch(error =>  console.log('error from FCM TOPIC'+ error));

        this.notificationListener = firebase.notifications().onNotification(notification => {
            let notificationMessage = notification._android._notification._data.action;
            let recordId = notification._android._notification._data.recordID;

            let { title, body } = notification;
            //  console.log('ttttt', notification)
            // notification.android.setAutoCancel(false)
            console.log(title, body, notificationMessage, recordId);


            const channelId = new firebase.notifications.Android.Channel(
                'Default',
                'Default',
                firebase.notifications.Android.Importance.High
            );
            firebase.notifications().android.createChannel(channelId);

            let notification_to_be_displayed = new firebase.notifications.Notification({
                data: notification._android._notification._data,
                sound: 'default',
                show_in_foreground: true,
                title: notification.title,
                body: notification.body,
            });

            if (Platform.OS == 'android') {
                notification_to_be_displayed.android
                    .setPriority(firebase.notifications.Android.Priority.High)
                    .android.setChannelId('Default')
                    .android.setVibrate(1000);
            }
            console.log('FOREGROUND NOTIFICATION LISTENER: \n', notification_to_be_displayed);

            firebase.notifications().displayNotification(notification_to_be_displayed);
        });
