GCM demo server - specify message

Question

I'm running the GCM demo server and it works quite well, but there's just one last problem I have: What do I have to do to send a message with content, there's no field for that in the demo server. Or does anyone have another server which I can run on an Apache Tomcat server?

Please help!

As you can run php scripts on apache tomcat server > look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11242743/gcm-with-php-google-cloud-messaging — Langusten Gustel, Mar 23 '13 at 01:14

In the GCMUtils project I have created a test server where you very easily can send messages. It is a simple maven plugin, here is more information: https://code.google.com/p/gcmutils/wiki/MavenPlugin#Test_server

It does not run on tomcat (it uses jetty), but maybe it can be useful if you want to test your gcm client implementation?

In GCM demo server sample, if you open SendAllMessageServlet.java, you can add your content by modifying line 81.

Message message = new Message.Builder().build();

to

Message message = new Message.Builder().addData("subject", "Hello World").build();

Then, the client can get your content in onMessage() method using intent.getStringExtra("subject");
