Is it even possible to send notifications to a specific device if the app is running in Expo Go?

SDK Version: 45.0.0
Platforms: Android

I want to send notifications to android using FCM.

  1. Launching my app in Expo Go.
  2. I get a device token.
  3. I open FCM and compose a notification.
  4. I send a notification to a specific device using the device token.

Result: The notification is not coming.

If I send a notification for all devices associated with the firebase project, then the notification comes only when the application is in the background.

If I create an .apk file, then notifications come anyway and everything is fine.

Please tell me if it is normal if the notification does not come for the launching application in Expo Go? What is my mistake? Is it even possible to send notifications to a specific device if the app is running in Expo Go?
