@soulfly No. Currently it does not support the Broadcast API. Broadcast API is only available in v2.11 and this gem is still on v2.9. So it has to update to v2.11 first then it will be possible to support Broadcast API.

Thanks @amrutjadhav
I have just created a monkey patch for this in a case somebody will need it

module Facebook
  module Messenger
    module Broadcast
      include HTTParty

      # Define base_uri for HTTParty.
      base_uri 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/me'

      format :json

      module_function

      def create_message_creative(messages, access_token:)
        response = post '/message_creatives',
                      body: JSON.dump(messages),
                      format: :json,
                      query: {
                        access_token: access_token
                      }

        Facebook::Messenger::Bot::ErrorParser.raise_errors_from(response)

        response.body
      end

      def send_broadcast(message_creative_id, notification_type, schedule_time, access_token:)
        data = {:message_creative_id => message_creative_id,
                :notification_type => notification_type}
        data[:schedule_time] = schedule_time if schedule_time

        response = post '/broadcast_messages',
                      body: JSON.dump(data),
                      format: :json,
                      query: {
                        access_token: access_token
                      }

        Facebook::Messenger::Bot::ErrorParser.raise_errors_from(response)

        response.body
      end
    end
  end
end

Cool. I'll be happy to merge a pull request for this, too.
