Create an emulator from genymotion that supports google map api. You can look this up.
Find a download for the app store that will run on your emulator. I found mine here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Universal_Packages_2... I was using the 4.2.2 version.
Drag and drop that into your emulator. I am using google nexus.
Say ok to the prompts.
Once everything is installed close down the emulator and restart.
sign up with a good account.
Voilà

GCM Notifications are ignored on the device

I'm trying to do some GCM notifications on Android. I've come as far as having something happen on the device.
NotificationService is throwing the following exception:
12-11 16:02:19.650 202-380/? E/NotificationService﹕ Ignoring notification with icon==0: Notification(contentView=org.***.**.reciever/0x1090098 vibrate=null,sound=null,defaults=0x0,flags=0x0)

All the *. are just the masked package name, they are all the same.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Also, is the notification supposed to pop up on the device without any extra code or does the app have to ask the OS to show a notification on the screen when the GCM push arrives? I think i read something about Android doing this part differently from iOS.

Figured it out, it's not the actual push message that's causing the issue as i thought. So i was barking up the wrong tree for a couple hours.
It turns out it was the actual notification that had an issue because it was demo code from Google >.<
Replaced with proper code -> working.
Thanks for your time!

My Android App shows the google map in debug but doesn't show it when released to the market

I have an app that I have created that uses the Google Maps and Google Playstore and in debug using Eclipse and the Android SDK the map shows up on the device I am running but when released it doesn't show up on the app. Theres just a big grey screen.

Could it be the Keystore. I have a release keystore file that was generated do I need to get the keystore from that if so how?

Are you just seeing gray screen then... it's almost definitely the API key that is wrong. The Emulator uses the debug keystore, with androiddebugkey, so you should create an API key for that. Remember to change it when you publish the app to the market
refer this

When U make your apk file. U need create a keystore. Now, using that keystore to get MD5 using "Keytool", like you did with debug keystore. After that, U need to register API key from MD5, you just got. And late, U use API key in your android manifest.

I assume it is a keystore problem.
Get the SHA1 from the keystore using the "keytool"
And register it like you did with the debug keystore.
And you are good to go.

All steps in many tutorials have a same code , I Think a problem is in emulator .

Google Map Api v2 wont show the map if you try to run it in Emulator or Device.
In order to show Map you need to sign the Application and then through command prompt try to install your application. Hope you will be able to get Map.
Few Steps required:-
1) You need add Libray project to your application
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject
Hope this will help you.

From the tutorial i read from this http://agusharyanto.net/wordpress/?p=893 from indonesia, you must use the google service library on the Google API that you choose and use another application venton.apk and gms.apk from adb command. If you dont understand the languages, try understand by look at the image explanation.

In the developer console, turn off the option Copy Protection. For me it's working, Acer Iconita Tab a500, stupidly did not app on market, and the link from browser says "is not compatible". Google Support advised to disable copy protection (this option doesn't shows app for rooted devices).
