Push notification for separate Angular 2 Client and Laravel PHP Backend

Question

Currently, I'm developing an e-commerce App that serves as a portal for multiple games so they can purchase goods from the portal with their in-game currencies, they have to do a game-portal binding before they could convert or buy things with their in-game currencies.

The binding process starts when a client requests to bind to certain game and receive a series of Code from backend server, and client would enter the code into their game (IOS / Android), if they succeed, it pushes notification to web browser for updates.

As for the Push notification, other than using a poll, what do you think i should use ?

Backend : PHP Laravel (web service)
Frontend : Angular 2
Server : Fedora

You should use WebSockets. Laravel has event broadcasting which can be used to send events to something a long the lines of a socket.io server. In the browser that can be connected to the websocket server and wait for events to be pushed across in real time.

Here is a step by step tutorial for Laravel and socket.io

You could also use a 3rd party push notification service and connect Laravel to send events to that. Something like pusher
