UPDATE: As of April 2017 this method does not work. The api_key in google-services.json is only the legacy key. The selected answer is correct.

Deprecated way:

In your project there is a JSON file called google-services.json

Open that file and search for

"api_key": [
        {
          "current_key": "********"
        }

those *** are your server api key

If you dont have that file then you can download it from your app details in firebase account

There are two keys on firebase, the first one is in Settings (Tab General) and its call Web API Key.

The second one and in what you are interesting for is in Settings (Tab Cloud Messaging) its called Server key

Use the second one for push notifications from php.

In my case, I did an integration with a 3rd party system and they asked for the "server key" json file.

They what I get it from firebase was: Project Overview -> Project Settings -> Service accounts screen and A press the Generate new private key button. I used that file and everything worked as expected
