I am new to FCM, is it possible to use FCM without accessing the cloud? As in, can I send information from an android app to a self-hosted server and reverse without touching anything not self-hosted? If so,can someone link me to some resources to do that? Is it simply to make the app FCM compatible and just make server calls?

JZ,

Since Firebase Cloud Messaging is by definition a cloud product, as is the rest of Firebase, I don't think this is possible. 

To be honest, as a somewhat naïve cloud developer ,I'm not even sure how one would go about reaching any server without touching any other ISPs, backbone providers, or internet services (Call it up with a dialup modem, maybe? But I'm fairly sure even then it's going to hit some carrier services along the way).

Or did you have specific, detailed constraints on what you mean by "not self-hosted"?

☼, Kato
