firebase cloud messaging: setBackgroundMessageHandler not called

firebase firebase-cloud-messaging service-worker

I am prototyping browser push notifications with FCM. I just copied the example code from the quickstart (https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-js/tree/master/messaging). Messages are recieved and displayed as they should be. But when I try to modify the message in the Service Worker (messaging.setBackgroundMessageHandler) nothing happens. The service worker is called, and if I implement an event listener in that service worker for the push notifications, it catches the event. But the method setBackgroundMessageHandler is never called. I am trying this on Chrome 54.

Any ideas what I need to do to customize the message in the service worker?

Thank you very much!
