Notification system in laravel project?

I want to build the notification system where users on the website get the notification from super admin anytime super admin sends any update notification regarding app.

Also is there any way to send push notification to different users as soon as any event happens.

PS: I know pusher is good choice but I'm looking for another way.

Laravel's broadcasting system is excellent and provides a lot of options: https://laravel.com/docs/broadcasting

Laravel's event system handles the scenario you are mentioning.

You're going to have to also make use of Laravel Echo for the front-end portion and showing the notifications to users.

A free alternative to Pusher is the laravel-websockets package: https://github.com/beyondcode/laravel-websockets. Definitely more to setup on the server. I usually reach for Pusher first, as its free tier is quite generous with up to 100 concurrent users and there isn't any complex server setup.

I have a really old video on setting everything up. It's still somewhat relevant though to help you get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjK0VMTCtVg
