I'm trying to send an email during the scheduled task of a module I'm building and continue to get an error:
Coding problem: $PAGE->context was not set. You may have forgotten to call require_login() or $PAGE->set_context(). The page may not display correctly as a result

I've looked at other plugins and can't figure out what's wrong. This is running as a scheduled task so I'm confused why I need to set the context for the page. Could someone offer some advice on what I'm doing wrong?
My code looks like this:
namespace mod_ojt\task;
defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die();
class notify extends \core\task\scheduled_task {
public function get_name() {
// Shown in admin screens
return get_string('notifytask', 'mod_ojt');
}
public function execute() {
global $DB, $CFG, $PAGE, $SITE;
require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/config.php');
$toUserId = 2;
$toUser = $DB->get_record('user', array('id' => $toUserId));
$fromUserId = 5;
$fromUser = $DB->get_record('user', array('id' => $fromUserId));
$subject = "OJT Approval Needed";
$messageText = "Test";
$messageHtml = "Test";
email_to_user($toUser, $fromUser, $subject, $messageText, $messageHtml);
}
} // end of class notify
