Above asked question has been solved as according to documentation at developer.google.com https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/client#get-config
> 2018 Edit : GCM Deprecated, use FCM
The file google-services.json
should be pasted in the app/ directory.
After this is when I sync the project with gradle file the unexpected Top level exception error comes. This is occurring because:
Project-Level Gradle File having
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.0-beta1'
}
and App-Level Gradle File having:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0' // commenting this lineworks for me
}
The top line is creating a conflict between this and classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.0-beta1'
So I make comment it now it works Fine and no error of
File google-services.json is missing from module root folder. The Google Quickstart Plugin cannot function without it.

Instead of putting in root folder as given in docs of firebase, just copy the google-json file in the projectname/app 's root folder and it works fine then . Its just simple !

This error indicates your package_name
in your google-services.json
might be wrong. I personally had this issue when I used
buildTypes {
...
debug {
applicationIdSuffix '.debug'
}
}
in my build.gradle
. So, when I wanted to debug, the name of the application was ("all of a sudden") app.something.debug
instead of app.something
. I was able to run the debug when I changed the said package_name
...

- Download the "google-service.json" file from Firebase
- Go to this address in windows explorer "C:\Users\Your-Username\AndroidStudioProjects" You will see a list of your Android Studio projects
- Open a desired project, navigate to "app" folder and paste the .json file
- Go to Android Studio and click on "Sync with file system", located in dropdown menu (File>Sync with file system)
- Now sync with Gradle and everything should be fine

google-services.json file work like API keys means it store your project_id and api key with json format for all google services(Which enable by you at google console) so no need manage all at different places.
Important process when uses google-services.json
at application gradle you should add
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'.
at top level gradle you should add below dependency
dependencies {
// Add this line
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
