if (DeviceId != null){

add permission in your manifest file
<manifest xlmns:android...>
...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES"></uses-permission>
</manifest>

Goto your manifest file and add this
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES"/>

You need to add the relevant permission in your AndroidManifest.xml
From the official documentation :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.android.app.myapp" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES" />
...
</manifest>

Add this permission to your manifest file to kill backgroud process
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES" />
Note: If you are getting all the running application on your android then you can kill only manually installed application like subway surfer but you can't kill inbuilt android application like launcher of android.

Try following workaround not using (so far as I know) any deprecated classes. Add the action "com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" to the GCMBroadcastReceiver in your manifest. This will enable to receive the registration_id at your GCMBroadcastReceiver.
<receiver
android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME.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" />
<category android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
After that your GCMBroadcastReceiver is able to receive the registration_id:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
String regId = intent.getExtras().getString("registration_id");
if(regId != null && !regId.equals(""))
{
/* Do what ever you want with the regId eg. send it to your server */
}
}
Although I still get a SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE error, I can handle the registration_id in my GCMBroadcastReceiver and I am able to send messages to my smartphone. Quite weird, but it works for me.

I was facing same problem from last one week but simple solutions is Android.Manifest File Changes.You have added only two permissions for C2D_MESSAGE but it required three.
<permission android:name="com.ciqtech.quicky.mobile.passenger.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.ciqtech.quicky.mobile.passenger.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
It will work for all android versions.

Ensure that your package name specified in the manifest matches the category name specified in the GCM receiver configuration. According to the manifest provided Your package name should look as below :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.ciqtech.quicky.mobile.passenger"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

where i am going wrong any help would be highly appreciated on restart of a phone i get demoapp has stopped i tried putting toast on reciever but that toast also are not coming at present

Make Sure u have the permission in AndroidManifest File :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
Change this to :
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context,BackgroundService.class);
startService(serviceIntent);
}

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Broadcast Action: This is broadcast once, after the system has finished booting. It can be used to perform application-specific initialization, such as installing alarms. You must hold the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission in order to receive this broadcast.
