Hi Jafer,

please check that you are using a server type api-key, and not a client api-key.

If you are using Firebase you can find the API-KEY in Project Settings > Cloud Messaging

If you are using cloud console, or you are not sure which key you are using, 

you can generate a new key through through https://console.cloud.google.com 

More documentation see: "Server key" here:

Sender Id is : 128998817970

Few weeks back it was working.The API Key was created by our previous vendor.

You should never post your API-KEY publicly. The API-KEY is the same as a password and should be kept secret.

Please CHANGE your API-KEY ASAP.

I have no way to check what type was your key.
Since you now have to generate a new one, be sure to generate a type server API-KEY, as explain in the documentation.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options#credentials 

If you don't have access to the Cloud Console project, you have to contact your previous vendor and ask to generate a new key.

Alternatively you can try to contact https://cloud.google.com/support/
