Hi Sonita,
When dealing with workflow notifications I tend to separate out the notification and the event. I only create the event for the notification in workflow and set the notification up using the standard notification templates - this way I find I can see ALL my notifications in one place. Previously I've had to look in all workflows with notifications and the notification templates to see what is triggering, just keeps it simple.
So in your case I would create an 'Create Event' workflow activity - which would point to an existing, or create a new event type, see mine below:
My parameter 1 is just for identifying the type of notification. Then in the notification itself you can select the required objects needed in the 'who will receive' tab, as you have shown in the top of your question.
However if you want to continue with the notification from the workflow (also very valid) you'll need to provide the field to the workflow notification, what you have isn't correct, try something like the below:
answer = [];
answer.push(current.user_to_be_moved); (I assumed your field name is called 'user_to_be_moved')
Hope this helps
Cheers
Carl.

So I just create an event in the workflow, how do I access it through event registry and notification email?

Thank you so much!
Actually I tried to create an event in the workflow and I created a notification . but it doesn't show the email content. it only shows the Ref
I created a template:
but the email body is not shown. I also put something in the Message HTML for testing purposes, but it doesn't show that either

Can you show the actual notification email record? The screen shot shows the 'Email Template' but this doesn't get called directly, only through a notification record.
