// throw new Exception('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
//print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
$result_noti = 0;
} else {

public function notifyUser(Request $request){
$user = User::where('id', $request->id)->first();
$notification_id = $user->notification_id;
$title = "Greeting Notification";
$message = "Have good day!";
$id = $user->id;
$type = "basic";
$res = send_notification_FCM($notification_id, $title, $message, $id,$type);
if($res == 1){
// success code
}else{
// fail code
}
}
send_notification_FCM() with following parameter $notification_id, $title, $message, $id,$type. When you want to send push notification to the mobile device, that time you need to call the send_notification_FCM() with specified parameters.
