Since you are already using firebase, look into Firebase Cloud Messaging. You'll need to
- Save each user's device tokens in Cloud Firestore and Realtime Database
- When a message is sent/written to the database, trigger a cloud function to send a notification through Cloud Messaging.
you have to use firebase cloud messaging by you have to safe each user token id
that will be notify users for a particular event
check my repository in developer branch where I implement push notification by
using firebase cloud messaging
