Laravel notifications are not being saved when using custom channel - laravel

Question

I have done this (https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/notifications#database-notifications), I ran the migration, I created a toArray() and a toDatabase() functions in the notification, and the notifications are correctly being sent, however, notifications are not being saved. My HablameChannel::send() method can send many messages because a certificate can have many phone numbers to notify, so I send the same notification to all of them.
This is my channel code:
<?php
namespace App\Channels;
use App\Models\Message;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class HablameChannel
{
/**
* Send the given notification.
* Envía las mensajes de
*
* #param \App\Models\Owner $notifiable
* #param \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification|\App\Notifications\CertificateToExpire $notification
* #return void
*/
public function send($notifiable, $notification)
{
// Se consultan los mensajes de la entidad notificable, en este caso el certificado.
$messages = $notification->toHablame($notifiable);
// Send notification to the $notifiable instance...
$messages->each->send();
}
}
This is my notification code:
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use App\Channels\HablameChannel;
use App\Models\Certificate;
use App\Models\Message;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
class CertificateToExpire extends Notification
{
use Queueable;
/**
* Certificado por el cual se va a notificar que está a punto de caducar.
*
* #var \App\Models\Certificate
*/
protected $certificate;
/**
* Create a new notification instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(Certificate $certificate)
{
$this->certificate = $certificate;
}
/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* #param mixed $notifiable
* #return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [HablameChannel::class];
}
/**
* Get the array representation of the notification.
*
* #param \App\Models\Owner $notifiable
* #return array
*/
public function toArray($notifiable)
{
return $this->toHablame($notifiable)->toArray();
}
/**
* Obtiene los mensajes a enviar por Háblame SMS.
*
* #param \App\Models\Owner $notifiable
* #return \Illuminate\Support\Collection|\App\Models\Message[]
*/
public function toHablame($notifiable)
{
$template = setting(
'plantilla_de_vencimiento',
'CDA DEL CESAR de la 44 le recuerda que la Revisión Técnico-Mecánica del vehículo'
. ' de placa {number_plate} está por vencer.'
. ' Visítenos en la CL 44 N 23A - 46. 3205739223'
);
$engine = new \StringTemplate\Engine();
$body = $engine->render($template, [
'number_plate' => $this->certificate->number_plate,
]);
$now = Carbon::now();
return $this->certificate->recipients_to_notify->map(
function (array $recipient) use ($body, $now) {
return $this->certificate->messages()->create([
'receiver_name' => $recipient['receiver_name'],
'to' => $recipient['to'],
'body' => $body,
'reference' => 'Certificados a punto de vencer.',
]);
}
);
}
}
This is the code where I call for the notification:
$certificate->owner->notify(new CertificateToExpire($certificate));

Sorry, I just had to add the database driver to CertificateToExpire::via() method.
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [HablameChannel::class, 'database'];
}
