I'm using the laravel-notification-channels/fcm package to send notifications to all devices, but despite logs showing messages sent, the devices never receive any notifications.
I have a DeviceToken model/table (DeviceToken.php) that stores all the device fcm_tokens:
PHP<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; class DeviceToken extends Model { use Notifiable; protected $fillable = ['fcm_token']; public static function getAllTokens(): array { return self::pluck('fcm_token')->toArray(); } }
I also created a notification that should broadcast to all devices whenever a new entry is created in a notifications table. Below is the SendNotification notification class (SendNotification.php):
PHP<?php namespace App\Notifications; use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable; use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification; use NotificationChannels\Fcm\FcmChannel; use NotificationChannels\Fcm\FcmMessage; use NotificationChannels\Fcm\Resources\Notification as FcmNotification; class SendNotification extends Notification { public $title; public $body; /** * Create a new notification instance. */ public function __construct($title, $body) { $this->title = $title; $this->body = $body; } public function via($notifiable) { return [FcmChannel::class]; } /** * Get the FCM representation of the notification. */ public function toFcm($notifiable): FcmMessage { return (new FcmMessage(notification: new FcmNotification( title: $this->title, body: $this->body ))) ->data(['data1' => 'value', 'data2' => 'value2']) // Additional data ->custom([ 'android' => [ 'notification' => [ 'color' => '#0A0A0A', ], ], 'apns' => [ 'fcm_options' => [ 'analytics_label' => 'analytics', ], ], ]); } }
Additionally, I have an observer (NotificationObserver.php) that is triggered whenever a new notification record is created:
PHP<?php namespace App\Observers; use App\Models\DeviceToken; use App\Models\Notification; use App\Notifications\SendNotification; use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\ShouldHandleEventsAfterCommit; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification as NotificationFacade; use NotificationChannels\Fcm\FcmChannel; class NotificationObserver implements ShouldHandleEventsAfterCommit { /** * Handle the Notification "created" event. */ public function created(Notification $notification): void { // Fetch all FCM tokens from the device_tokens table $deviceTokens = DeviceToken::getAllTokens(); if (!empty($deviceTokens)) { // Send the notification via FCM try { // Optionally, chunk the tokens if you have many (e.g., 1000) $chunkSize = 500; $chunks = array_chunk($deviceTokens, $chunkSize); foreach ($chunks as $chunk) { NotificationFacade::route(FcmChannel::class, $chunk) ->notify(new SendNotification($notification->title, $notification->body)); } Log::channel("notification")->info("Notification sent to " . count($deviceTokens) . " devices."); } catch (\Exception $e) { Log::channel("notification")->error("Error sending notification: " . $e->getMessage()); } } else { Log::channel("notification")->warning("No device tokens found"); } } }
According to the logs, notifications are supposedly sent (e.g., "Notification sent to 3 devices."), but no device actually receives the notification. I've already tried troubleshooting common issues without success.
Any help or suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Below are several troubleshooting steps and suggestions you can try to resolve the issue:
Routing with an Array: The Laravel FCM channel supports routing notifications to an array of tokens if you use the route method correctly. According to the package documentation, using NotificationFacade::route(FcmChannel::class, $chunk)
should work. However, if you suspect that passing an array might be problematic, you can try sending notifications to each token individually:
PHPforeach ($deviceTokens as $token) { NotificationFacade::route(FcmChannel::class, $token) ->notify(new SendNotification($notification->title, $notification->body)); }
This will help determine if the issue is related to sending to multiple tokens at once.
Route Notification Method:
Although you are sending via the “route” method rather than a notifiable model, ensure that your DeviceToken model is set up correctly with the Notifiable trait if you ever decide to send notifications directly from it. You might add a custom route method in the model (if needed):
PHPpublic function routeNotificationForFcm($notification) { return $this->fcm_token; }
Payload Structure: Confirm that your payload in SendNotification’s toFcm
method follows the structure expected by FCM. For example, you might want to remove or adjust parts of the custom payload to see if FCM responds differently:
PHPpublic function toFcm($notifiable): FcmMessage { return (new FcmMessage(notification: new FcmNotification( title: $this->title, body: $this->body ))) ->data(['data1' => 'value', 'data2' => 'value2']); // ->custom([...]) // try temporarily removing custom parameters if needed }
Notification vs Data Message: Remember that FCM treats “notification” messages differently from “data” messages. Depending on your client app configuration (foreground/background), you might need to adjust this.
By following these steps, you should be able to narrow down whether the issue lies in configuration, token validity, payload structure, or the way you are sending notifications using the channel. Start with checking your FCM credentials and testing with a manual FCM request, then move on to adjusting how you route notifications.
