Declarative Web Push support? "web_push" additional field support

[andynewman10]

Any idea about how to format the message to make it compliant with Declarative Web Push?

It only is a minor update to how messages should be formatted, but I don't see how this can be performed with your library (which is excellent work, otherwise).

Sending Declarative Web Push-compliant messages is required for Safari not to drop push subscriptions after some time automatically (see firebase/firebase-js-sdk#8010). Note this behavior, nicknamed Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), may happen with macOS Safari, not just with iOS. Basically, the client service worker may be killed anytime on client machines, and because of that, incoming notifications can no longer be displayed... unless there is a specific field in the payload indicating to the browser it has a green light to display a notification by itself, without even going through the service worker:

{
  "web_push": 8030, // makes push message Declarative Web Push-compliant
  "notification": {
    "title": "...",    
    "body": "...",    
  }
}

A short but good video about the subject, made by Apple, is provided here.

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

I checked the payload by examining the payload variable in CreateJsonHttpContent:

        public static HttpContent CreateJsonHttpContent(
            this NewtonsoftJsonSerializer serializer, object body)
        {
            var payload = serializer.Serialize(body); // here
            return new StringContent(payload, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
        }

No "web_push": 8030 field is automatically added to the payload. Could you add an API so that we developers can add it? This would be the best approach, as I don't believe Firebase servers should automatically add it.
