Gingerbread not receiving Parse.com push message

I build a push client app using Parse.com SDK.
I can receive push messages on Nexus 5 and 7 which both have Android OS v4.4.2.
But I can't receive push messages on older devices like Samsung Galaxy Ace (v2.3.5)
Here is my AndroidManifest.xml:

What I can see wrong is
enabled="false"
needs to be
android:enabled="false"
In addition, you need to add
</manifest>
at the end of your manifest.

GCM Generates new registration IDs for the same phone

I'm using one device for testing and I'm getting a lot of new registration IDs from it. Not every time the app is built, but sometimes. I'm not sure what the deal is. How do I get it to use the same id? Isn't that what is supposed to happen?

You have no warranty that your Registration Id will always be the same for your device.
The registration ID lasts until the Android application explicitly
unregisters itself, or until Google refreshes the registration ID for
your Android application.
