Install this package with Composer:

Setting up the Expo service

If you use an Expo Access Token please set this in your environment.

EXPO_ACCESS_TOKEN=mysecrettoken

Usage

Firstly you will need to define a method to retrieve your Expo push token

class NotifiableModel extends Model {
    // You may pass a single token
    public function routeNotificationForExpo($notification)
    {
        return "ExponentPushToken[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]"
    }
    
    // Or you may return an array of tokens, for example, a user could have multiple devices.
    public function routeNotificationForExpo($notification)
    {
        return $this->installations->pluck('expo_token')->toArray()
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use App\Models\Message;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use NotificationChannels\Expo\ExpoChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Expo\ExpoMessage;

class NewMessageNotification extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;

    private Message $message;

    public function __construct(Message $message)
    {
        $this->message = $message;
    }

    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [ExpoChannel::class];
    }

    public function toExpo($notifiable)
    {
        return ExpoMessage::create()
            ->title("New Message from {$this->message->from}!")
            ->body($this->message->text)
            ->badge(1);
    }
}
