How to catch a Firebase Auth specific exceptions
You can throw the Exception returned by task.getException inside a try block and catch each type of Exception that may be thrown by the method you are using.
Here is an example from the OnCompleteListener for the createUserWithEmailAndPassword method.
if(!task.isSuccessful()) {
try {
throw task.getException();
} catch(FirebaseAuthWeakPasswordException e) {
mTxtPassword.setError(getString(R.string.error_weak_password));
mTxtPassword.requestFocus();
} catch(FirebaseAuthInvalidCredentialsException e) {
mTxtEmail.setError(getString(R.string.error_invalid_email));
mTxtEmail.requestFocus();
} catch(FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException e) {
mTxtEmail.setError(getString(R.string.error_user_exists));
mTxtEmail.requestFocus();
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
}
}
In addition to @pdegand59 answer, I found some error code in Firebase library and test on Android (the returned error code). Hope this helps, Regards.

There are a number of exceptions associated with firebase auth. In addition to @kingspeech
You should use ((FirebaseAuthException)task.getException()).getErrorCode() to get the type of error and then handle it in switch like this :
private void loginUser(String email, String password) {
mAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Main2Activity.class));
} else {
String errorCode = ((FirebaseAuthException) task.getException()).getErrorCode();
switch (errorCode) {
case "ERROR_INVALID_CUSTOM_TOKEN":
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "The custom token format is incorrect. Please check the documentation.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

etPassword.requestFocus();
