If you installed it correctly in a Laravel app, the Dispatcher should be available. This problem is probably caused by something app specific.

Could you try installing the package in a fresh Laravel app?

Hello. Here I've faced same issue. I've recently upgraded my project from laravel 5.2 to 5.5 and the notification provider was not present in config/app.php.

Make sure the Notifications service provider and facade are registered in app.php:

'providers' => [
    // others
    Illuminate\Notifications\NotificationServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
    // others
    'Notification' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification::class,
],
