Laravel push notifications are received by pusher with sync but not with redis driver

Question

I'm trying to use Laravel's notification class to send a system notification upon an action. I'm receiving notifications when sync driver is being used, but when I switch to redis queue connection, there is no payload through pusher.

SystemNotification.php

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Channels\BroadcastChannel;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\BroadcastMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class SystemNotification extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Queueable;

    private $event;
    private $eventData;

    public function __construct($event, $eventData) {
        $this->event = $event;
        $this->eventData = $eventData;
    }

    /**
     * Get the delivery channels for this Notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable) {
        return [BroadcastChannel::class];
    }

    public function toBroadcast($notifiable) {
        return (new BroadcastMessage([
            'event' => $this->event,
        ]));
    }
}

.env

BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher
CACHE_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
SESSION_DRIVER=file
SESSION_LIFETIME=120

queue.php

'redis' => [
    'driver' => 'redis',
    'connection' => 'default',
    'queue' => env('REDIS_QUEUE', 'default'),
    'retry_after' => 90,
    'block_for' => null,
 ],

Here is the payload when I use sync driver.

My job is also being successfully processed.

I would appreciate any and all the help. Thanks!

After config change do a php artisan config:cache then re run you queue workers.

Note if your are queuing to redis then you have to run your workers via php artisan queue:listen redis and not php artisan queue:listen only

If it does not work try implementing a ShouldBroadcastNow interface like class SystemNotification extends Notification implements ShouldBroadcastNow and then recheck if its works actually it will not queue you event but execute it immediately.
