GCM Activity getting force closed - android

I am a beginner with Google cloud messaging. I was developing a demo app to check the functionality of GCm. I have created a GCM project and i am checking whether the device is registered or not. I am using the following code,
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
if (regId.equals("")) {
GCMRegistrar.register(this, "483910217912");
Log.d(tag, "Registered");
} else {
Log.v(tag, "Already registered");
}
}
and my Manifest file is,
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<!-- App receives GCM messages. -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<!-- GCM connects to Google Services. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- GCM requires a Google account. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<!-- Keeps the processor from sleeping when a message is received. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<permission android:name="my_app_package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="my_app_package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<application

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
I have included the gsm jar files into my project.
The Logcat error it gives is,
10-11 13:44:59.001: E/AndroidRuntime(339): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.kochar.it.GCM/com.kochar.it.GCM.GCmExampleActivity}: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Device does not have package com.google.android.gsf
The error is on the line,
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);

It seems that you're using the wrong emulator. The default emulator uses a regular Android emulator that doesn't have any Google packages and can't run all sorts of things like maps, c2dm and all sorts of stuff like that. What you want to do, is create a new emulator that can support the Google APIs.

Don't run this in an emulator. Because it needs Google account.
Try one of below,
Create Emulator with Google api
Run it on real android phones
Run it on Bluestack (http://bluestacks.com/)
It will solve your problem. :)

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Note: I am using genymotion emulator with 2.3.7, I don't have a hardware device to test.
Used a hardware device and everything worked so it was emulator's fault.

PushBot Android client not working

I followed the instruction but when I test sending the message I do not receive anything.
There are no errors in the application and the pushbot console sees that that there is a registered device.
How can I find out what is going on ?
The Code is very template like and follows all instructions that they have provided.
The application
import com.pushbots.push.Pushbots;
import android.app.Application;
public class MyApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
String SENDER_ID = "ID here";
String PUSHBOTS_APPLICATION_ID = "Pushbot App Id";
Pushbots.init(this, SENDER_ID,PUSHBOTS_APPLICATION_ID);
}
}
The manifest looks like the following

I'm not sure which version of com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver you are using, but if it's the default implementation taken from the old client GCM library, this implementation expects the GCMIntentService to be in the main package of your app (com.example.zuppush), which is not the case.
I just signed up for pushbots recently. No technical support. No one is answering the phone. Their phone number forwards to a business that has nothing to do with pushbots. Please be aware, I don't think this company exists anymore. I lost my 1st month subscription to the service, without any service actually being delivered. I assume that pushbots service is no longer available, and that no one is still using the service, despite the fact that they are still accepting credit cards on their web site. Sketchy.

Specific device not receiving Google Cloud Messaging notifications

I have an application where I'm implementing Google Cloud Messaging notifications, but in a specific device the messages don't arrive. This device has the minimum requirements to use GCM (Android version 2.2, Play Store installed and an Google Account logged). In the log I see that the device is receiving the registration id and sending to the back-office where I have a list of devices registered.
My question is: Do I need to make extra configurations to make the device receive these notifications?
Here is the manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="br.com.testegcm"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1" >

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Change this :
<permission android:name="com.example.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
to :
<permission android:name="br.com.testegcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="br.com.testegcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
Add the same issue and i eventually i realized that i need to change in the manifest, the broadcast receiver package name from com.example.gcm to my package name :
<!-- Push notifcations-->
<receiver
android:name=".BroadcastRecivers.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
<category android:name="com.example.gcm"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
To
<!-- Push notifcations-->
<receiver
android:name=".BroadcastRecivers.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
<category android:name="MY PACKAGE NAME"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
No apart from Android version 2.2, Play Store app installed and an Google Account logged in no other configuration is needed, Now there are only two cases left
1) Either there is some ambiguity in your code.
2) or may be it is a device specific issue.
I had the very same problem.My code would work on nexus4(Kitkat) but would fail to get me a notification from the appln server(via gcm server).For versions less that 4.0.4 you should make sure that you have your google account setup on your device for gcm to work. I had google account on my phone but the mistake I made was that my Account and Sync settings in my galaxy ace was 'Off'.When I turned it ON and ran my code, i received the notification.
Please check the following solution. if still didn't work, let me know.
Add RECEIVE and REGISTRATION Intent in two different intent filters
<receiver
android:name=“<.GCM BroadcastReceiver Name>“ // Name of your BroadcastReceiver, define in code.
android:exported="true"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<category android:name=“<Package Name>" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name=“<Package Name>" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=“<.GCM IntentService Name>" /> // Name of your IntentService, define in code.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Add RECEIVE and REGISTRATION Intent in two different intent filters as shown as above otherwise it won’t work for some devices(Ex. HTC).

SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE GCM android

I've been developing an android application with no problem until now. Everything worked fine last week but today I tryed to register to the GCM server and I'm getting a Service_not_available.
I've searched all over the web as to what can be the cause of this because it worked last week, still no solution found. I'm using the example from the GCM Server in the android developers.
This is my AndroidManifest.xml
<permission
android:name="com.testing.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.testing.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" >
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" >
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/icono_aplicacion"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:name="com.testing.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:name="com.testing.Inicio"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >
</activity>
<receiver
android:name="com.testing.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<category android:name="com.testing" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name="com.testing" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name="com.testing.GCMIntentService" />
and the application throws an exception when I call.
String regid = gcm.register(SENDER_ID);
Any ideas how to fix this? I've already tryed on 4 devices with no luck
SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE might mean that your device can't read the response or there was a 500/503 from the server. You can try and have a exponential back-off and retry again. You already have "com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" , so I assume you are handling the refreshing of ID's in the BroadCastReceiver. Also check if you are logged in to Google from your device. You ofcourse need a valid Google account for using the service. If you have changed password, just check if logged in. There is also a similar bug report which is still unresolved. Keep track of it.
That's my 2 cents for you problem.
Are you by any chance setting a breakpoint prior to calling gcm.register()? This will cause issues because the device time will become out of sync with the gcm servers and cause the call to fail.

Not getting android push notification messages from gcm

I am developing an android application with push notification using GCM (step by step: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html) but not all devices getting notifications from GCM server.
I debugged it and I saw that my 3d-party server sends the message successfully.
When i send to my Galaxy-S4 device I get the notification but in my Galaxy-S2 i don't get.
AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<permission android:name="com.example.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<receiver
android:name=".gcm.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="com.freco" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".gcm.GcmIntentService" />
I think the other code its not necessary here because its works fine in Galaxy-S4.
What do you think is it ?
What's the package of your app, com.freco (as defined in the category of the broadcast receiver) or com.example.gcm (as defined in your permissions)?
You should use the package name of your app in both places. For some reason, this mismatch only causes problems in older Android versions. Newer versions work either way.
Looks like a copy paste error. In your manifest, change com.example to your actual package name
