Error: Laravel Notifications Broadcast Exception - notifications

Question

I am trying to build a real-time notification system in an app I am working on. one of the requirements is, when an ID is expired, that particular user should be sent a notification. Since this task needs to be run on daily basis at the maximum, I developed an artisan command that is easy to run with CRON jobs i.e. Laravel Scheduler. Every thing is working fine i.e. the artisan command is run and notification is generated & stored in database & all the related stuff. but each time a notification is generated, the page needs to be reload and this is where I am stuck. I am trying to make it happen in real time but a very strange error is being thrown & I don't know what it means.
Here is the necessary code:
Artisan.file
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use App\User;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use App\Notifications\UserIdExpired;
class UpdateCatalog extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $signature = 'check:expiry';
/**
* The console command description.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $description = 'dummy command to check its purpose';
/**
* Create a new command instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
$ZERO = 0;
$MONTH = 30;
$today = Carbon::today();
$users = User::all();
foreach($users as $user){
$today = Carbon::today();
$expiryDate = $user->qidexpire_on;
if($today->diffInDays($expiryDate, false) <= $MONTH && $today->diffInDays($expiryDate, false) >= $ZERO){
$this->info($user);
$this->info($expiryDate->diffInDays($today));
$user->notify(new UserIdExpired);
} else {
}
}
}
}
}
Notification.file
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\BroadcastMessage;
class UserIdExpired extends Notification
{
use Queueable;
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['database', 'broadcast'];
}
public function toDatabase($notifiable)
{
return [
'user' => $notifiable,
'id_expired' => Carbon::now()
];
}
public function toBroadcast($notifiable)
{
return new BroadcastMessage([
'user' => $notifiable,
'id_expired' => Carbon::now()
]);
}
}
when I run php artisan check:expiry from console, Notification is generated & on page reload it updates number of notifications but its not happening in real time. Following is the error that is shown on console
[Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastException]
Note: Whenever i reload the page, Pusher Console shows the respective log like connected private channel and host & all that stuff which means the problem is not on the client side, (yet)
