I tested it myself and also had difficulties with Android at first. But in the end it was only because the app had transferred the events only after a few hours. The next day I had all events in Google Analytics.
From the Firebase documentation:

Generally, events logged by your app are batched together over the period of approximately one hour and uploaded together. This approach conserves the battery on end users’ devices and reduces network data usage.

But for debugging there is the option to activate the Debug Mode. With this I was able to follow the events live.

Awesome, thank you so much!
