title: How to send a push notification from the Firebase console to a specific GCM/FCM device token ID
body: <p>In Urban Airship, when I am composing a notification, I can target specific users by searching for a Urban Airship <code>channel_id</code> (device ID):</p>

  <p>I sent from Urban Airship the push notification that I am showing above, and I received it successfully. Now I want to do the same thing, send a push notification to a specific device, but now using the Firebase console. The problem is that in Firebase, in the step where I need to specify the <code>target</code>, it only allows me to choose <code>User segment</code> or <code>topic</code>. I was expecting to see a third option: <code>Target specific users</code> (for sending notifications to one or many specific GCM/FCM device token IDs. So my alternative is to add a GCM/FCM device token ID to a <code>topic</code> and then send the push notification to that topic, which is something that I have successfully done before. Nonetheless, that would be a workaround and not the way I would prefer to do this. Is it possible to send push notifications to specific users (by defining the target GCM/FCM device token IDs) from the Firebase console? Thank you.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE 1:</strong> See how the Firebase console (<a href="https://console.firebase.google.com/" rel="noreferrer">https://console.firebase.google.com/</a>) only shows <code>User segment</code> and <code>Topic</code> as the <code>Target</code>:</p>
