I have noticed that both seem to mean the same thing.
Is there a difference between them?

Probably one would not say one of these (missing object), but Text and Nachricht are used differently in some contexts (f.i. networking).– TeXnicianCommented Jun 15, 2017 at 16:26

2They are the same only in the meaning a text can be a message.– JankaCommented Jun 15, 2017 at 17:14

1"Nachricht" means "Message" and "Text" means "Text". A message is usually a text but a text is not always a message.– RHaCommented Jun 15, 2017 at 17:15

Please but the actual question into the body of your post and use the title to describe what it is about.– JanCommented Jun 15, 2017 at 17:16

In response to your concrete question, if you want to say text me - send me a notice - drop me a message or something alike, you can say:
- schick / schreib mir eine Nachricht
- schick / schreib mir eine SMS/WhatsApp/etc... (more specific)
But there are the expressions inform me - notify me - let me know as well. Then you could say:
- gib mir Nachricht (benachrichtigen - http://www.duden.de/suchen/dudenonline/Nachricht%20geben . Not used though)
- gib / sag mir Bescheid
It's not totally clear what the exact context is in your question, but I hope it helps.
As commenters noted, "Nachricht" means "message" and "Text" means "text", so you would be able to use the two words interchangeably where you only expect a message to be entered (since you can only enter messages that consist of text.) It's the same in English though.
