$gcmClient = new GcmClient('your-gcm-api-key-here');

$message = new Message($gcmClient);

$message->addRegistrationId('xxxxxxxxxx');
$message->setData([
    'title' => 'Sample Push Notification',
    'message' => 'This is a test push notification using Google Cloud Messaging'
]);

// More options are available in the Message class

try {
    
    $response = $message->send();
    
    // The send() method returns a Response object
