Laravel 5 AndroidPushNotification

Package to enable sending push notifications to android devices.

Installation

Update your composer.json file to include this package as a dependency

"piyushpatil/androidpushnotification": "dev-master"

Register the PushNotification service provider by adding it to the providers array in the config/app.php file.

'providers' => [
     'Piyushpatil\Androidpushnotification\AndroidpushnotificationServiceProvider',
]

'aliases' => [
    'PushNotification' => 'Piyushpatil\Androidpushnotification\Facades\PushNotification',
]

Configuration

Copy the config file into your project by running

 php artisan vendor:publish --provider="piyushpatil/androidpushnotification" --tag="config"

    'Android' => [
        'environment' => 'production',
        'apiKey' => 'yourAPIKey',
        'service' => 'gcm'
    ]
