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 } }
