My Answer:
> You can send data/payload along with the push notification by including it in the `publish` method of the PushNotifications SDK. Here is an example of how you can send data along with the notification:

php
$pushNotification = new PushNotifications([
'instanceId' => 'YOUR_INSTANCE_ID',
'secretKey' => 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY',
]);

$data = [
'message' => 'Hello, this is a push notification with data',
'custom_data' => 'Custom data here',
];

$publishResponse = $pushNotification->publish(
['interests' => ['hello']],
['fcm' => ['notification' => ['title' => 'Hello', 'body' => 'This is a push notification'], 'data' => $data]]
);

print_r($publishResponse);


In the above code, the `$data` array contains the data that you want to send along with the notification. You can include any custom data that you want to send. The `publish` method takes two parameters: the interests to which the notification should be sent and the notification data. In the notification data, you can include the title, body, and the data array.

Make sure to replace `'YOUR_INSTANCE_ID'` and `'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'` with your actual Pusher Beam instance ID and secret key.

After sending the notification, you should see the data in the Pusher Beam console under the notification details.
