Answer 1

you need to understand below steps
for more details Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL

Answer 2

First you need to create browser key from Console.
This is the code you need to add for Sending notification GOOGLE_API_KEY is the key you created from Console.
<?php
class GCM {
//put your code here
// constructor
function __construct() {
}
/**
* Sending Push Notification
*/
public function send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message) {
// include config
include_once './config.php';
// Set POST variables
$url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';
$fields = array(
'registration_ids' => $registatoin_ids,
'data' => $message,
);
$headers = array(
'Authorization: key=' . GOOGLE_API_KEY,
'Content-Type: application/json'
);
// Open connection
$ch = curl_init();
// Set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Disabling SSL Certificate support temporarly
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
// Execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === FALSE) {
die('Curl failed: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
// Close connection
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
}
}
?>
Now using this method of GCM class you can send notification to the device by calling its method.
pass reg.id that is token id you got from Android device and message you want to pass.
$gcm = new GCM();
$result = $gcm->send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message);
echo $result;
