Broadcast receiver not working properly, onReceive() doesn't get invoked. How should I fix it?

My onReceive() doesn't get invoked at all even when application receives sms message. It doesn't get invoked when the message arrives. Shouldn't it be working in background and only gets invoked when the SMS arrives?
It works fine on a seperate project but not when I'm integraing to my own app.
My Code:
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.util.Log;
public class SmsBroadcastReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "SMSBroadRec";
public static final String SMS_BUNDLE = "pdus";
String SenderNo = "+92----------";
String SenderNo2 = "+92----------";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "In onReceive()");
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String smsBody;
String address;
try {
if ( !bundle.isEmpty() ){
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Sms received");
String verificationCode = null;
Object[] sms = (Object[]) bundle.get(SMS_BUNDLE);
for (Object sm : sms) {
SmsMessage smsMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) sm);
smsBody = smsMessage.getMessageBody();
address = smsMessage.getOriginatingAddress();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, address);
if (SenderNo.equals(address) || SenderNo2.equals(address)) {
verificationCode = getVerificationCode(smsBody);
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "OTP received: " + verificationCode);
break;
} else {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "wrong sender");
break;
}
}
SharedPreferences prefs = context.getSharedPreferences(AppConfig.APP_SCRATCH, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor ed = prefs.edit();
ed.putString(AppConfig.APP_SCRATCH, verificationCode);
if (ed.commit()) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "commit succesful"); //added to the shared preferences
} else {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "commit unsuccessful");
}
} else {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Intent must be empty!");
}
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private String getVerificationCode(String message) {
String code = null;
int index = message.indexOf(AppConfig.OTP_DELIMITER);
if (index != -1) {
int start = index + 2;
int length = 8;
code = message.substring(start, start + length);
return code;
}
return code;
}
}
This is the part of the manifest file and i have added permissions too which are READ_SMS, RECEIVE_SMS, WRITE_SMS.

There's a spelling mistake of word "received".

Android Parse Push Notifications Not Working - Outdated Device

I just updated the latest Parse SDK (1.11.0) and now I'm not receiving push notifications. I am able to register successfully and can see on the parse site that that my "developer" channel has been subscribed but pushes never get sent and I get this error:
PPNS - Outdated device - The records on this installation are
outdated, the user might have uninstalled the app.
Can someone please take a look at my code and see if you notice anything incorrect?
public class LSIApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Parse.initialize(this, "********", "********");
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("developer", 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);
}
}
});
Parse.setLogLevel(Parse.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE);
}
}`

In your manifest.xml comment/delete below code,
<receiver android:name="com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver"
android:exported="false">

<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.DELETE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.OPEN" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
then add below code in manifest.xml
<receiver
android:name="com.parse.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<!--IMPORTANT: Change "com.parse.starter" to match your app's package name.-->
<category android:name="your_application_id" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
hope it works.

Not able to receive GCM notification in some of android devices in background

Actually my application works fine and able to receive GCM push notifications but there are some of devices which are not receiving GCM notification in GCMIntentService only when my app is in background. devices are huwai honor,xiaomi's some models.

BroadcastReceiver not receiving the broadcast from IntentService when device is in sleep mode

I have a GCMBroadcastReceiver, which is receiving GCM broadcast and starting intentservice
public class GCMBroadcastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver{
public static final String TAG = "GCMBroadcastReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e(TAG, "Recieved GCM broadcast, starting GCM intent service");
// Explicitly specify that GcmIntentService will handle the intent.
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(),
GCMIntentService.class.getName());
startWakefulService(context, (intent.setComponent(comp)));
setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK);
}
}
And the IntentService is sending a Broadcast (broadcast receiver is GCMNotificationObserver) before calling completeWakefulIntent on GCMBroadcastReceiver
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (intent == null) {
return;
}
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
GoogleCloudMessaging gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(this);
String messageType = gcm.getMessageType(intent);
Log.e(TAG, "GCM message type: " + messageType);
if (!extras.isEmpty()) {
if (GoogleCloudMessaging.
MESSAGE_TYPE_SEND_ERROR.equals(messageType)) {
onError(intent);
} else if (GoogleCloudMessaging.
MESSAGE_TYPE_DELETED.equals(messageType)) {
onDeletedMessages(intent);
} else if (GoogleCloudMessaging.
MESSAGE_TYPE_MESSAGE.equals(messageType)) {
onMessage(intent);
}
}
GCMBroadcastReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);
}
In onMessage method I'm broadcasting
protected void onMessage(Intent intent) {
String payload = intent.getStringExtra("cm_data");
Intent broadCastIntent = new Intent(
GCMNotificationObserver.ACTION_GCM_NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE_RECEIVED);
broadCastIntent.putExtra("payload", payload);
sendBroadcast(broadCastIntent);
}
The issue I'm facing is that GCMNotificationObserver is not receiving the broadcast.
I'm suspecting the device is returning to sleep mode before broadcast is received.

If don't want your application to restart you have to declare that explicidly in the android manifest like this
<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"
android:label="#string/app_name">
However this is not recommended and considered as last resort.
Here you can read more how you should handle configuration changes
