I am using beneath code im buddypress to show notification of the latest posts posted by users.

The problem is that when a post is posted then only the person who posts the post receive the notification and the other users don't receive.

I want to fix this error.

Thanks and regards, Ahmad

Like JItendra Rana already mentioned, you just send a notification to the author. If all users should get a notification, you must loop through all your users and add a notification to everyone. You get the users with get_users. Here is the modified code to realize it:

function bp_post_published_notification( $post_id, $post ) {
    $author_id = $post->post_author; /* Post author ID. */
    $users = get_users();

    /* Loop all users */
    foreach( $users as $user ) {
        if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) {
            bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
                'user_id'           => $user->ID,
                'item_id'           => $post_id,
                'component_name'    => 'custom',
                'component_action'  => 'custom_action',
                'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
                'is_new'            => 1,
            ) );
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'bp_post_published_notification', 99, 2 );

If you check the function for 'publish_post' action.

function bp_post_published_notification( $post_id, $post ) {
    $author_id = $post->post_author; /* Post author ID. */
    if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) {
        bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
            'user_id'           => $author_id,
            'item_id'           => $post_id,
            'component_name'    => 'custom',
            'component_action'  => 'custom_action',
            'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
            'is_new'            => 1,
        ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'bp_post_published_notification', 99, 2 );

Notice that you are sending Notification to Post Author only. You will need to change 'user_id' parameter in 'bp_notifications_add_notification' function to the user id you want.

Here is the Codex Documentation for bp_notifications_add_notification Function.

EDIT :

Update the function as below :

function bp_post_published_notification( $post_id, $post ) {
    // $author_id = $post->post_author; 

    $active_users = bp_core_get_users( array("per_page"=>-1));

    foreach ( $active_users['users'] as $user ) {
        if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) {
            bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
                'user_id'           => $user->ID,
                'item_id'           => $post_id,
                'component_name'    => 'custom',
                'component_action'  => 'custom_action',
                'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
                'is_new'            => 1,
            ) );
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'bp_post_published_notification', 99, 2 );
