                "data" : {
                    "body" : "",
                    "title" : "' . $title . '",
                    "type" : "' . $d_type . '",
                    "id" : "' . $id . '",
                    "message" : "' . $message . '",
                },
                "notification" : {
                    "body" : "' . $message . '",
                    "title" : "' . $title . '",
                    "type" : "' . $d_type . '",
                    "id" : "' . $id . '",
                    "message" : "' . $message . '",
                    "icon" : "new",
                    "sound" : "default"
                },
 
            }';
 
        $crl = curl_init();
 
        $headr = array();
        $headr[] = 'Content-type: application/json';
        $headr[] = 'Authorization: ' . $accesstoken;
        curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
 
        curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
        curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headr);
 
        curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
        curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 
        $rest = curl_exec($crl);
 
        if ($rest === false) {
            $result_noti = 0;
        } else {
            $result_noti = 1;
        }
 
        echo view('success');
    }
}
Step 4 : Set Up View

Head over to application/views/ folder, create a new home file. Likewise, open and add the suggested code example in application/views/home.php file:

application/views/home.php 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Codeigniter 4 Send Push Notification using Google FCM Example - Mywebtuts.com</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
    <br>
    <?= \Config\Services::validation()->listErrors(); ?>
 
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-9">
            <form action="<?php echo base_url('public/index.php/notification/sendPushNotification') ?>" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label for="formGroupExampleInput">Device Type</label>
                    <select class="form-control" id="device_type" name="device_type" required="">
                        <option value="">Select Device type</option>
                        <option value="android">Android</option>
                        <option value="iphone">IOS</option>
                  </select>
                </div>           
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label for="formGroupExampleInput">Notification Id</label>
                    <input type="text" name="nId" class="form-control" id="formGroupExampleInput" placeholder="Please enter notification id" required="">
                </div> 
                <div class="form-group">
                    <button type="submit" id="send_form" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Now you need to create success.php file, so go to application/views/ and create success.php file. And put the below code into it:

application/views/success.php 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title> send push notification to android using codeigniter </title>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container mt-5">

    </div>
</body>
</html>
