Resetting backoff for 'Package Name'

Hello I have created an android application in that I wants to GCM Register id.
My code is-
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
if (regId.equals(""))
{
GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID);
}
Log.v("REG ID:",""+regId);
But it gives error like-
Resetting backoff for 'Package Name'
What is meaning of this error ?

Have you added the following Permission and Kindly check whether your Sender Id is in Live or not.
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- This app has permission to register and receive data message. -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<permission android:name="com.example.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />

I guess your GCMIntentService is not well defined ?
Please check out this:)
I can not get registration ID from Android GCM

GCM Android: onRegistered() not being called

I'm having a problem with GCM on Android. It fails to execute the onRegistered() callback, or ever return a good regId, on one of my test devices (Droid2) - but it works perfectly well on another device (Galaxy Nexus).
I'm following the basic example here. The caller looks like this:
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
if (regId.equals(""))
GCMRegistrar.register(this, Constants.SENDER_ID);
else
Log.v(TAG, "Already registered");
And my manifest has this:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
and
<receiver
android:name="com.google.android.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.gcl.myapp" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Why isn't the onRegistered() callback working? And what could be causing it to work on one device, but fail on another?? Thanks.

If it works on some devices but not others then it is to do with one of the following:
Pre Android 4.0.4 the device requires a valid google account to work.
GCM only works on devices with Play Store App and API 8 onwards.
Your manifest is badly formatted - use Lint to check!
Device/App is already registered, the Play implementation may not return again.. Try GCMRegistrar.unregister(this); first.
Hope that helps!

I had the same problem. If you are using AngularJS + IonicFramework you do not have to do this:
After you create your factory with your onDeviceReady function, creates onNotificationGCM function. Something like this:
app.factory('PushProcessingService', function () {
..
});
function onNotificationGCM(e) {
}
I was creating onNotificationGCM inside my factory. This solve my problem.

Using GCM, Urban Airship to send Push Notification

I have created a sample project in Google Console. Referring the sample from this site, http://code.google.com/p/blog-samples/downloads/detail?name=gcm_sample_update1.rar&can=2&q=#makechanges I got my registration Id. Now I don't know what to do next, how I can implement push notification in my app. I want to use Urban Airship to send push to my app. I have created a app in Urban Airship, by giving the package name, API key obtained through Google console. To my server I need to send the Apid to get the messages. But i don't know how to get the Apid.

It is explained here: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/gs.html
Writing the Android Application
You have to download and add gcm libraries.
Then make changes in manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="xx"/>
and
<permission android:name="my_app_package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="my_app_package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
inserting Your package name in "my_app_package".
Add other permissions
<!-- 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" />
receiver
<receiver android:name="com.google.android.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="my_app_package" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Again write Your package name in "my_app_package".
Then declare your service
<service android:name=".GCMIntentService" />
You have to create a class named GCMIntentService. This class is going to handle the push notifications.
It should look like this:
class GCMIntentService extends com.google.android.gcm.GCMBaseIntentService{
public void onRegistered(Context context, String regId){}
public void onUnregistered(Context context, String regId){}
public void onError(Context context, String errorId){}
public void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent){}
}
In onMessage() you will have to handle the push message. You can use notifications.
Then in Your starting Activity you will have to put this
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
if (regId.equals("")) {
GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID);
} else {
Log.v(TAG, "Already registered");
}
in onCreate().
SENDER_ID is the String containing all numbers that you got from the google console.

Well.. There are 3 steps to get APID
1. Run the application
2. Open logcat
3. Find the APID
Note first time you may get APID(Android Push ID) null so run it again you will get

If you want to use Urbanairship you have to use their SDK for user registration (look here), cause UA create a new id for each device and not using Google registration Id when pushing message using their API.
Not sure why they doing it like that but that it... =\

I can not get registration ID from Android GCM

Although I try other answer about this problem, it can't be solved.
Sender ID is correct, permissions are added, API key is true.
I use this post for creating the project:
http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/gs.html#server-app
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
if (regId.equals("")) {
GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID);
regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
} else {
Log.v(TAG, "Already registered");
}
String did = getDeviceID();
it returns empty string.

Do you have GCMIntentService defined correctly at the root package of your app?
<receiver android:name="com.google.android.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="my_app_package" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Make sure that "my_app_package" is identical to the main package of your app, or your id will return an empty string.
Also notice that
GCMRegistrar.register(this, "...");
is asynchronous. Therefore, calling GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this) immediately after that is not reliable, so you should avoid it.
The id will arrive via broadcast callback to your GCMIntentService, as a part of the registration procedure. from there you can then store the gcm/fcm key anywhere you like, and use it in other parts of the application (usually on the server).

If your application launches first time, you have to wait for OnRegistered callback on your GCMIntentService.java file.
GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID);
// Android does NOT wait for registration ends and executes immediately line below
// So your regId will be empty.
regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
GCMIntentService.java:
#Override
protected void onRegistered(Context c, String regId) {
// You can get it here!
}
Edit: Newer version of GCM library (which bundled with google play services library) waits for response and returns the Registration ID. So this answer is for older GCM libraries.

I have same problem after 1 day struggle I find solution. First i Put my GCM Related Code in To My Main Package and make change according to My Package in androidManifest.xml
i give you simple example. My project name is GCMExample and i have Three package 1. com.examle.GCMExample(Main Package) , 2. com.examle.GCMExample.activity(Second Package) , 3. com.example.GCMExample.adapter(Third Package)
I am not Getting Registration Id When My GCM Related Class File Into My Second Package
My GCM Related class like 1. GCMIntentService , 2. ServerUtilities , 3. CommonUtilities 4. WakeLocker put Into My Main Package com.example.GCMExample
also my 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="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<permission android:name="com.example.GCMExample.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.GCMExample.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<receiver
android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<intent-filter>
<!-- Receives the actual messages. -->
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<!-- Receives the registration id. -->
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name="com.example.GCMExample" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name="com.example.GCMExample.GCMIntentService" />

Registering app com.example.ilkgcm of senders "my_sender_id" -- This error suggests you haven't changed your 'my_sender_id' to a valid sender id which would be a 12-letter code.

If you are not getting response from the registration.one of the main reason is your manifest file is not configured correctly...especially give the "package_name"(your app package name like com.xxx.yyy) in the and correctly.

For example your receiver class name is : "MyCustomIntentService.java" , just change this name as "GCMIntentService.java" then try it again. This is simple solution. Just change your file name on the SRC area.

Android - Cannot receive C2DM Registration Intent

I am attempting to register my device with C2DM and am having major issues. I have followed several tutorials, all of which are very similar. I believe the issue has to do with the registration intent that it sends to the C2DM server. Does anyone have any suggestions. The following is the relevant code:
Manifest: The permissions (outside my application tag):
<!-- Used for C2DM -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.companyname.parade.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
This is the Intent registration (inside my application tag):
<receiver
android:name=".C2DMReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<!-- Receive the actual message -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<category android:name="com.companyname.parade" />
</intent-filter>
<!-- Receive the registration id -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name="com.companyname.parade" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
The following is what I call to register my device to the C2DM server (it starts the service that contacts the C2DM servers that is suppose to send back a registration Intent with my registartionID in it). It is located in a file called C2DMessaging:
public static void register(Context context) {
Intent registrationIntent = new Intent(REQUEST_REGISTRATION_INTENT);
registrationIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_APPLICATION_PENDING_INTENT,
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent(), 0));
registrationIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_SENDER, SENDER_ID);
ComponentName name = context.startService(registrationIntent);
if(name == null){
// FAIL!
Log.d(TAG, "FAIL");
}else{
// SUCCESS
Log.d(TAG, "Success");
}
}
The ComponentName info is the following:
com.google.android.gsf/com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.PushMessagingRegistrar
There is no logcat output. My receiver (named C2DMReceiver) is the following:
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (C2DMessaging.INTENT_REGISTRATION_CALLBACK.equals(action)) {
// Registration Intent
Log.w(TAG, "Registration Receiver called");
handleRegistration(context, intent);
} else if (action.equals(C2DMessaging.INTENT_RECEIVED_MESSAGE_CALLBACK)) {
Log.w(TAG, "Message Receiver called");
handleMessage(context, intent);
} else if (action.equals(C2DMessaging.INTENT_C2DM_RETRY)) {
C2DMessaging.register(context);
}
}
This does not get called at all.
Edit: This whole thing was a stupid mistake on my part. I simply forgot a step somehow in the tutorials I read. I need to add this to my permissions:
<permission android:name="com.companyname.parade.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Thanks to MisterSquonk for the response.

From the Google docs for C2DM for Creating the Manifest, the manifest needs a <permission> entry to complement the <uses-permission> entry for C2D_MESSAGE.
Something like this...
<permission android:name="com.companyname.parade.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />

This tutorial worked for me in getting me up to speed:
http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidCloudToDeviceMessaging/article.html
I'm not sure why you have two intent filters. I only needed one - com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION (see tutorial above for a complete example manifest)
I'd check your manifest is correctly referencing the receiver class - perhaps try a fully-qualified reference to the class. I had an issue at one point where I moved receiver class in my project structure and all messages stopped.
I'd also check that the C2DM account is set up right, and with the right package name.
I'd also try it on another device, as in my experience some Android devices fall off C2DM and just don't receive messages for a period of time. I find sometimes flicking to airplane mode and back sorts it out, but I found testing on several devices essential to rule out problems with a specific device.
