FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Firebase Cloud Messaging for Laravel
Lightweight, high-performance, and secure Laravel package for sending Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push notifications using the new HTTP v1 API.
This package is built with Senior-level optimizations in mind: it generates JWTs locally (no need for bloated external Google API clients), uses in-memory caching to prevent TOCTOU race conditions and reduce Disk I/O, and automatically handles auto-retries for expired authentication tokens.
Features
- Blazing Fast: JWTs are generated and signed locally using OpenSSL.
- In-Memory Caching: JSON credentials are parsed and cached in RAM for the duration of the request lifecycle, ensuring maximum throughput for bulk notifications.
- FCM HTTP v1 API: Fully supports the modern Firebase API.
- Smart Retries: Automatically refreshes the OAuth2 token and retries if Google responds with a
401 Unauthorized. - Zero Config Bloat: No need to run
php artisan vendor:publish. Everything is configured via a single.envvariable. - Silent Pushes & Custom Sounds: First-class support for data-only notifications and platform-specific sound payloads (iOS APNs and Android).
Requirements
- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 11.x (or higher)
Installation
Install the package via Composer:
Configuration
You do not need to publish any configuration files. The package intelligently configures itself from your .env file.
Add the FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS variable to your .env file. You can configure it in one of two ways:
Option 1: File Path (Recommended)
Place your Firebase Service Account JSON file (e.g., firebase.json) in the root of your Laravel project and reference it:
(The package automatically resolves relative paths using Laravel's base_path(), so it works perfectly in both web requests and artisan queues).
Option 2: Raw JSON String
If you prefer not to store files on the server (e.g., in Docker/Kubernetes environments), you can pass the raw JSON string directly:
Usage
Use the provided FirebasePush facade to send notifications using its clean Fluent Builder interface.
Send to a Specific Device Token
Send to a Topic
The package automatically prefixes the topic with /topics/ if you forget it.
Silent / Data-Only Pushes
To send a push notification that doesn't trigger a visual alert on the device but wakes up the app in the background, simply omit the title and body:
Advanced Usage (Raw JSON)
If you need to send highly specific FCM parameters (like webpush configs or custom android properties) that aren't available in the builder, you can pass a raw payload array directly:
Error Handling
Unlike standard implementations that throw an exception and crash your loops on invalid device tokens (404 Not Found or 400 Bad Request), this package gracefully returns the Google API error array.
This allows you to safely process bulk notifications and delete invalid tokens from your database without wrapping everything in a try-catch block:
Exceptions are only thrown for critical failures (e.g., Google FCM servers are down with a 5xx error, or your JSON credentials are invalid).
