Hello!
The “message” you’re passing to “publish” method might be: a primitive value, String, Date, a user-defined complex type, a collection or an array of these types.
Your issue happens because you’re trying to pass instance of backendless “Message” class as message.
The “PublisherId” should be set at PublishOptions.
So, finally, your request should look like this:

String message = Message_string;
PublishOptions publishOptions = new PublishOptions();
publishOptions.setPublisherId( Backendless.UserService.CurrentUser().getEmail() );
// ....... other settings ......
Backendless.Messaging.publish( "chat", message, publishOptions, new AsyncCallback&lt;MessageStatus&gt; ..... );
