+#### Determining If A Queued Notification Should Be Sent
+
+After a queued notification has been dispatched for the queue for background processing, it will typically be accepted by a queue worker and sent to its intended recipient.
+
+However, if you would like to make the final determination on whether the queued notification should be sent after it is being processed by a queue worker, you may define a `shouldSend` method on the notification class. If this method returns `false`, the notification will not be sent:
+
+    /**
+     * Determine if the notification should be sent.
+     *
+     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
+     * @param  string  $channel
+     * @return bool
+     */
+    public function shouldSend($notifiable, $channel)
+    {
+        return $this->invoice->isPaid();
+    }
