title: How can I send a Firebase Cloud Messaging notification without use the Firebase Console?
body: <p>I'm starting with the new Google service for the notifications, <code>Firebase Cloud Messaging</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks to this code <a href="https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-android/tree/master/messaging">https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-android/tree/master/messaging</a> I was able to send notifications from my <strong>Firebase User Console</strong> to my Android device.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any API or way to send a notification without use the Firebase console? I mean, for example, a PHP API or something like that, to create notifications from my own server directly.</p>
