Finally I got it working!

I came into GCM again and noticed that now I have not only API key but also Server Key.  
**Probably** it’s after I migrated my app to Firebase.  
I used the server key and finally it starts working.  
So the [manual](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-push-notifications/46692) is outdated and the warning in the docs makes sense. For push notifications to work we need server key which cannot be created in [https://console.developers.google.com/apis/](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/) anymore.  
Instead we have to use [https://console.firebase.google.com/](https://console.firebase.google.com/)

BTW: there’re two server keys there: long (“Server key”) and short (“legacy server key”). For GCM we need the legacy one.  
(I previously tried the long one)
