I'm playing Minecraft, and I want to send a friend request to my friend, but we play on different consoles.
Is it possible to send a friend request to them?

As of this week this has changed. Minecraft is now cross platform!
No, it is not possible to send a friend request to someone on a PS4 via Xbox.
It is unlikely that you will ever be able to add them as a friend via Xbox.
In the future, you might be able to add them as a Minecraft friend and play with them.
PS4 cross-play for Minecraft hasn't happened yet because it has been Sony's policy to not support cross-play with other platforms. However they have been under a lot of pressure to drop this policy, and have recently allowed Fortnite cross-play. This means that Minecraft cross-play might be around the corner.
It is possible to play Minecraft with friends between Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Android, and PC.

No, it's not possible.
I'm not sure where you got the idea that you could, but Xbox Live and the PS network are two separate networks. Friends between the two systems is unfortunately not something that is possible.
