How to auto send email when publishing a custom post type in WordPress?

Hi,
I’d like to have an email automatically sent out to my website’s subscribers when I publish a post for a specific custom post type. I was search and I’ve found a few plugins that will do this but only for regular posts (or for any post type that gets published, not allowing you to specify a particular post type). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Hi Mohi Uddin,
You can try this code although I haven’t test yet but I think this code will works for you.

add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'send_mails_on_publish', 10, 3 );
function send_mails_on_publish( $new_status, $old_status, $post )
 {
 if ( 'publish' !== $new_status or 'publish' === $old_status
 or 'my_custom_type' !== get_post_type( $post ) )
 return;
$subscribers = get_users( array ( 'role' => 'subscriber' ) );
 $emails      = array ();
foreach ( $subscribers as $subscriber )
 $emails[] = $subscriber->user_email;
$body = sprintf( 'Hey there is a new entry!
 See <%s>',
 get_permalink( $post )
 );
wp_mail( $emails, 'New entry!', $body );
 }
