use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use MTGofa\FCM\Messages\FirebaseMessage;

class MyNotification extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;

    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['fcm'];
    }

    public function toFcm($notifiable) 
    {
       
        return (new FirebaseMessage())->setContent('Test Notification', 'This is a Test');
        
    }
}

Implement on your notifiable

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Model {
    use Notifiable;

   public function routeNotificationForFcm() {
        //return a device token, either from the model or from some other place. 
        return $this->device_token;
    }
