curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "QB-Token: 519c40c31072fe5dcbe0c24651c7489fab012bba" \
-d '{  
  "event":{  
  }
}' \
https://api.quickblox.com/events.json

2. Set a notification type

Use a notication_type parameter to set the type of notification.

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "QB-Token: 519c40c31072fe5dcbe0c24651c7489fab012bba" \
-d '{  
  "event":{
    "notification_type":"push",  
  }
}' \
https://api.quickblox.com/events.json

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "QB-Token: 519c40c31072fe5dcbe0c24651c7489fab012bba" \
-d '{  
  "event":{
    "notification_type":"push",
    "environment":"production",  
  }
}' \
https://api.quickblox.com/events.json

4. Use a `user` parameter to set the ID of push notification recipient.

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "QB-Token: 519c40c31072fe5dcbe0c24651c7489fab012bba" \
