Apps Integrating FCM (firebase cloud messaging) along with the GCM in the same application

Redan

Hi ,
I am quite new on the making mobile push notifications , i have an application (with a php application server) which uses GCM in order to deliver push notifications to the device, in the application database they defined the GCM token as the unique identifier for each user in the application.
I am asked to switch to the Firebase cloud service in order to receive push notifications.

The problem is : if i just migrate from GCM to FCM , the existing users of the application will lose access to their accounts , because the GCM token will be gone.

I think the only walk-around is to run both of the services on the application..
Is this possible ?
If it`s not , do i have another solution ?
