How do I prevent my Firebase API Key from being exposed through my google-services.json file?

My Android application's google-services.json file is committed with the rest of my project to a public repo. This is a bad idea for the reasons detailed here.
{
"project_info": { ... },
"client": [
{
...,
"api_key": [
{
"current_key": "MY_API_KEY"
}
],
...
}
],
"configuration_version": "1"
}
How can I have the API key get retrieved from a global context during build rather than stored out in the open? An expansion on this approach would be best!
