title: Laravel change Connection for Notifications table
body: <p>I am implementing Laravel 5.3 Notifications at the moment which is working very nice.</p>
  
  <p>At the moment I am using 'email' as a notifications channel but I want to add 'database' too. I am using different databases/connections for languages and want to store the notifications in a central database / Connection.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How do I use a different database connection for notifications?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I already tried creating a Notifications model but that did not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>namespace App;
  
  use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
  class Notifications extends Model
  {
      protected $connection = 'system';
  }
  </code></pre>
