Answer 1

Try to use it. We can use either

beforeSend: function(xhr) {
    xhr.setRequestHeader('X-CSRFToken', csrf_token);
},

or

headers: {
    "X-CSRFToken": csrf_token
},

But I would recomment the first option(beforeSend).

Here is the working code snippet in my case.

var csrf_token = this.getCSRFToken();
self.collection.fetch(
{
    beforeSend: function(xhr) {
        xhr.setRequestHeader('X-CSRFToken', csrf_token);
    },
    // headers: {
    //     "X-CSRFToken": csrf_token
    // },
    data: {
        "mark_as": "read"
    },
    type: 'POST',
    success: function () {
        if (clickLink) {
            window.location.href = clickLink;
        } else {
            self.unreadNotificationsClicked(e);
            // fetch the latest notification count
            self.counter_icon_view.refresh();
        }
    },
    error: function(){
        alert('erorr');
    }
});
