GCM Channel
A channel is a type of platform that you can deliver messages to. You can use the GCM channel to send push notification messages to the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service, which replaces the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service. Before you can use Amazon Pinpoint to send notification messages to FCM, you must enable the GCM channel for an Amazon Pinpoint application.
The GCM Channel resource represents the status and authentication settings of the GCM channel for a specific application. You can use this resource to enable, retrieve information about, update, or disable (delete) the GCM channel for an application.
