Issue Description

When configuring android app for parse push notification as described in this document: https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/#android-apps If I add this code to AndroidManifest.xml, app will crash if app receives an FCM message.

       <service
           android:name="com.parse.fcm.ParseFirebaseMessagingService"
           android:exported="false">
           <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
           </intent-filter>
       </service>

Steps to reproduce

Actual Outcome

If I add that code to AndroidManifest.xml, app will crash if app receives an FCM message.

Expected Outcome

So I removed that code from AndroidManifest.xml, and tried again. This time app does not crash, if app receives an FCM message and looks like app is working fine without this code. No problem I faced by removing that code.

So what my app is missing by removing that code? Or documentation needs to be updated?

PS: I needed to add android:exported="false" to be able to compile for projects targeting android SDK 32 or newer. Maybe crash occurs because of that. But I can't compile, if I don't add "exported" part. I need to change targetSdkVersion to 30 in order to compile without android:exported="false". But target SDK 30 is too low to publish an app to Play Store.
