My app does not receive Parse push notifications

I have setup my app for Parse notifications and strictly followed the instructions, but somehow I don't receive any notification. What is the problem here?
Update: I just tried sending a test push notification on the Parse.com website. That should work without subscribing to a channel (see comment)
My AndroidManifest.xml (only the relevant parts):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<permission android:protectionLevel="signature"
android:name="co.bla.bla.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="co.bla.bla.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- Push notification setup -->
<service android:name="com.parse.PushService" />
<receiver android:name="co.bla.bla.ParsePushReceiver"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.RECEIVE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.DELETE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.OPEN" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<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" />
<category android:name="co.bla.bla" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
And I have extended ParsePushBroadcastReceiver:
public class ParsePushReceiver extends com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver{
#Override
protected void onPushReceive(Context context, Intent intent ) {
ParseAnalytics.trackAppOpenedInBackground(intent);
String s = intent.getStringExtra("alert");
Log.d("Push received", s);
// do your stuff here
if(SugarSnapApplication.INACTIVE)
super.onPushReceive(context, intent);
}
#Override
protected void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(context, SugarActivity.class);
i.putExtras(intent.getExtras());
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
#Override
protected Notification getNotification(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return super.getNotification(context, intent);
}
#Override
protected void onPushDismiss(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPushDismiss(context, intent);
}
}

I finally found out what the problem was. I have renamed the whole package name of my application a couple of days ago and apparently the change was not made everywhere and the applicationId in my build.gradle file was still the old one. So naturally the package name in my AndroidManifest.xml was not the same as the one saved in my Installation class.

GCM intent services OnRegistered method is not getting called

In the log I am getting this message.

My application is not getting push notifications from the server

I followed the tutorial Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL. My application only gets the notifications if I synchronize my mobile with Gmail before installing the application. If I install the application first and then synchronize my mobile with Gmail, it's not geting the notifcations.

There must be at least one Google account registered on the device, else push notification does not work. You may refer to this document for more information. As it is mentioned,
For GCM to work, the mobile device must include at least one Google account if the device is running a version lower than Android 4.0.4.
EDIT : Also refer to this answer and make sure you have the same package name in your permission
<permission
android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
and in the line below inside the intent-filter
<category android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications" />

GCM - Never enter onMessage() with Android 4.0 Device

I am not very experienced with Android development and I shall include gcm to an existing app.
So far, I can register all devices and I receive the registrationId. The problem is, that I never enter the onMessage() method on my Android 4.0 device. I also tried it with a Galaxy Note 2 (Android 4.1) and there I can receive the message.
I don't get any error message, I just never enter onMessage().
When I send the message, I always get an messageId, so gcm "accepted" the message. But it is never delivered to the device.
How can I find out what the problem is??? Thanks in advance

Code in onCreate() of my first activity (Startup.java)
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
if (regId.equals("")) {
System.out.println("Id ist leer, Device wird neu registriert");
GCMRegistrar.register(this, "825134311331");
} else {
System.out.println("This device is already registered");
}

If you are trying this over WIFI, make sure that port 5228 isn't being blocked by the network. That's how I fixed the problem that I had after more days of trying to get it to work than I'd like to admit.

Make sure the GCMIntentService class is in the package specified in your manifest

GCM: register the device [GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID)]

I have a important delivery, i hope you can help me.
I have to use GCM.
I am using the file in the official guide in http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/demo.html
I did "Setting Up the Server Using App Engine for Java" and it work.
My problem is the android application .Exactly I don't recive the id from GCM and so anytime my application try the registration.
Thanks a lot....

could you supply your code of "registerReceiver".
I had the same problem, when my SENDER_ID was wrong.
Try to check it again, and check your package too: com.example.registrazionegcm.GCMIntentService
Put some breakpoint in onError and onRegistered
For me, this code works:
#Override
public void run() {
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(mContext);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(mContext);
String deviceToken = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(mContext);
if (deviceToken.equals("")) {
GCMRegistrar.register(mContext, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
deviceToken = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(mContext);
if(!deviceToken.equals("")){
GCMRegistrar.setRegisteredOnServer(mContext, true);
// register deviceToken on CommNotes srv
RequestMaker req = new RequestMaker(Constant.REQ_REGISTER_GCM, mContext);
//if unsuccessful, try again 5 times
for(int i = 0; i<5; i++){
Log.d("ComNotes", "registration id"+deviceToken);
if(req.doRequest(deviceToken) == ReturnCode.CODE_OK){
break;
}
}
}
//TODO manage unsuccess: display error : "No PUSH available"
} else {
Log.v("CommunityNotes", "Already registered "+deviceToken);
}
}
