Android Studio: App does not receive push notifications from parse.com

I know that this question has been asked many times but i am still unable to get push notifications from parse.com
The push Notifications are being successfully sent from parse.com but my app does not receive them.
Most people have their problem resolved using this: I can't receive push notifications in app from Parse bt that doesnt work for me.
I also tried Android - Can not Receive Push from Parse.com.
Some people suggest changing names of packages, i did that and even made a new app but didnt help.
Note: i have imported parse-1.9.1.jar and bolts-android-1.2.0.jar
Here is my MainActivity
package com.example.user.parsetest;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import com.parse.Parse;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Parse.initialize(this, "********", "********");
}
}
I tried adding custom PushReceiver as suggested in many answers
package com.example.user.parsetest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver;
public class Receiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
protected Notification getNotification(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return super.getNotification(context, intent);
}
#Override
public void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtras(intent.getExtras());
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
#Override
protected void onPushReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//here You can handle push before appearing into status e.g if you want to stop it.
super.onPushReceive(context, intent);
}
}
And the AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Unable to figure out the problem. pleaseeee help.

In your Application class just after the line for Parse.initialize(appkey,clientkey); just add the following line and it should work.
// Current installation object
ParseInstallation parseInstallation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
// Save the updated installation object
parseInstallation.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
MyLog.e(MainApplication.class.getSimpleName(), "Installation object saved "+((e!=null)?"failed":"successfully"));
}
});

Try downloading this project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fpp22fi2o7c8vai/PushParse.zip?dl=0
It contains the 1.4.3 lib jar file. It's outdated but it's working.
I did, with a bit of tweaking, managed to update it to the latest library (1.9.2).
Watch out for errors that appear in your logcat. I got this: error setting up push notification using parse.com and android studio
If fixed by making sure my android manifest is very clean and organized. Follow the structure.
Here's my code for the updated parse library:
public class ParsePushNotification extends Application {
public ParsePushNotification() {
}
public void onCreate(){
super.onCreate();
Log.d("!!!", "This was called. Parse");
Parse.initialize(this, "paste your app id here", "paste your client id her");
// PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, LoginActivity.class);
// ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("", new SaveCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.d("com.parse.push", "successfully subscribed to the broadcast channel.");
} else {
Log.e("com.parse.push", "failed to subscribe for push", e);
}
}
});
}
}
That class should be used here in your manifest:
<application
android:name="com.example.app.ParsePushNotification"
Here's my receiver class:
public class Receiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, LoginActivity.class);
i.putExtras(intent.getExtras());
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
Here's my manifest:

How to call an activity before screen lock is shown?

I want to start an activity even before screen lock after rebooting. here is my code
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.bootservicestartup.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".BootUpReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#SuppressLint("InlinedApi")
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
what the code does is when the phone is rebooted, an activity will be shown. that works. but I also want the activity to be shown even before showing the screen lock.

Hope this helps you if you did it as a service;
You need the following in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
1) In your element:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
2) In your element (be sure to use a fully-qualified [or relative] class name for your BroadcastReceiver):
<receiver android:name="com.example.MyBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
(you don't need the android:enabled, exported, etc., attributes... the Android defaults are correct)
In MyBroadcastReceiver.java:
package com.example;
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}

AlarmManager Does not work when Activity in background

In my App, I'm using AlarmManager for transmitting keep-alive every day once a day.
I'm using the following code for starting athe AlaramManager
Calendar calendar = DateUtils
.getNextKeepAliveTime(keepAliveHours, keepAliveMinutes);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),
ALARM_REQUEST_CODE, intent, 0); // PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Get the AlarmManager service
Log.d(TAG, "cal: " + calendar.toString());
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
long diff = calendar.getTimeInMillis() - System.currentTimeMillis();
if(diff < 0) diff = AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES;
am.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, diff, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, sender);
When activity goes background, the receiver, AlarmReceiver, does not get any event. But it working successfully when activity in foreground.
Ther receiver declaration in my manifest is -
<receiver android:name="MainActivity$AlarmReceiver" android:enabled="true" />
The manifest is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<receiver android:name="MainActivity$AlarmReceiver" android:enabled="true" />
<!-- intent-filter>
<action android:name="alarm_action"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver -->
</application>
The receiver code is
public static class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, intent.getExtras().toString());
if (!inForeground) {
Log.d(TAG, "*** Move app to front!");
Intent it = new Intent("intent.my.action");
it.setComponent(new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(),
MainActivity.class.getName()));
it.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
context.getApplicationContext().startActivity(it);
}
try {
Toast.makeText(context, "alarm message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
MainActivity.instance.sendKeepALive();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(
context,
"There was an error somewhere, but we still received an alarm",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
How it can be solved?
Thanks,
Eyal.

Try to remove the code for the broadcast receiver from the Activity ,make another java file and put it there and also modify your manifest as per that
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" />
instead of
<receiver android:name="MainActivity$AlarmReceiver" android:enabled="true" />

how to start my application when ever mobile restart or turn on

How do i set my application as startup application, so when ever mobile restarts or turned ON, my application starts.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.installedapps22"

EDIT Here is my updated code and it is still not working:
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.installedapps22"
android:versionCode="1"

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name="com.app.reciever.BootUpReciever">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity android:name=".ListInstalledApps" > </activity>
<activity android:name=".TabsLayoutActivity" />
</application>
</manifest>
BroadcastReciever:
package com.example.installedapps22;
public class BootUpReciever extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}

This is to set the app as the startup application in your device Create a Class extends BroadCast Reciever
public class BootUpReciever extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, ServerPreferenceActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
Add permissions to manifest file to access bootup receiver
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
Register your receiver which extended the Broadcast receiver in manifest.xml
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name="com.app.reciever.BootUpReciever">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

first use permission in manifiest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
and declare boot receiver in manifiest
<receiver android:name=".BootReciever">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
user receiver to start your mainactivity
public class BootReciever extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(myIntent);
}
}

For your edited code try replacing the following:
android:name="com.app.reciever.BootUpReciever
with:
android:name="com.example.installedapps22.BootUpReciever

Android: Why I am not receiving the BOOT_COMPLETED intent?

I am testing on an physical device (SAMSUNG ACE GT S5830i)
But I am not receiving the BOOT_COMPLETED intent therefore the service is not Receiver is not starting
This is the code I am using.
public class BootCompleteReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static final String TAG = "InfoService.BroadcastReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Log.e(TAG, "System boot notification received.");
Intent service = new Intent(context, InfoService.class);
context.startService(service);
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Intent received: " + intent);
}
}
}
