Request: Please add functionality to avoid breaking firebase messaging library #755

Description

@sash20m

Hi. I have used notifee for a while and now I need to add firebase messaging notifications into the app because we want to send remote notifications. The problem is that the notifee library breaks the firebase library in the sense that onNotificationOpenedApp and getInitialNotification do not work anymore. I have seen that you added this info in the release notes: https://notifee.app/react-native/docs/release-notes. However, it is very annoying because I don't want to create a mix of functions in different places in the app, some that are from firebase and some from notifee, the code becomes incomprehensible. I have my files with the notifee functions that handle the local notifications when I need to, and another file for firebase that handles the remote notifications - as it should be.

I would like to see a functionality where I can turn that off in notifee, something like:

notifee.setRemoteHandling(false);

And this way anyone can choose if they need this or not, otherwise it just breaks every other remote notification library there is.

I would really really appreciate it if you could do this, or some other workaround so that I am still able to use the firebase events.
