This plugin isn't using Firebase.  We didn't need google-services.json for
GCM3.

Firebase requires two variables, the application id and the sender id.
Fortunately the senderId is embedded in the applicationId.

I've made a PoC version of AGDroid-push here :
https://github.com/secondsun/aerogear-android-push/tree/no_google_services
and a Poc Puhs app here :
https://github.com/secondsun/unified-push-helloworld/tree/no_google_services


As you can see I've just overloaded the SenderId.
