SendFCMJob.php to queue tasks :

<?php

class SendNotificationReferralJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, 
        InteractsWithQueue, 
        Queueable, 
        SerializesModels;
    
    protected $userIds;
    protected $title;
    protected $message;
        
    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct(array $userIds)
    {
        $this->userIds  = $userIds;
        $this->title    = trans("notification.share_title");
        $this->message  = trans("notification.share_body");
    }

    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        try{
            User::whereIn('id', $this->userIds)
                ->select(['fcm_token', 'apns_token'])
                ->each(function($user)
                {
                    $this->batchService->addPayload(
                        $user->fcm_token, 
                        $this->title, 
                        $this->message, 
                        [
                            "key" => "foo",
                        ],
                        (! is_null($user->apns_token)
                    );
                });

            $this->batchService->send();
        }
        catch (Exception $e){
            //
        }
    }

Dispatching SendFCMJob in Controller :

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;


class NotificationController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Send notification to users.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        User::query()
          ->select(['id'])
          ->chunkById(500, function($users) {
              SendFCMJob::dispatch($ids);
          });
    }
}
