How to check certificate is working or not?

You can test your certificates at that link https://pushtry.com/

What is this $http2ch param for ? And one more thing what to pass in $app_bundle_id?

400 error. Any idea?

In my case this was due to the fact that the $message was not correctly formatted.

$message = ['aps' => ['alert' => ['title' => '...', 'body' => '...'], 'url-args' => ['']]];
$message = json_encode($message);
