send error during onReceive in android GCM

Question

i am trying to send notifications via gcm to my android device. The registration was successful and i have the reg id saved on my server. When i send a test notification and keep my phone for debugging, the onReceive method is triggered in the demo app which means that the notification arrived. But, the intent also has the bundle - Error:SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE, message_type = send_error, google.message_id = 1

Could anyone tell me what might be the problem here?

Thanks,

Nitin

Edit: As it turned out, there was a problem with the firewall which was blocking the port at my office. Works fine at home. Thanks!

To know that your device has been registering, I supose you might be checking it in onRegistered function. Similarly, I think for receiving a message on your device you need to override ans use the onMessage() function in a class that extends GCMBaseIntentService. Something like:

protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent message) {
    Log.d("GCMIntentService","Received push message");
    Bundle extras=message.getExtras();
    for (String key : extras.keySet()) {
        Log.d("GCMIntentService", "Received key: " +key +" and value as: "+extras.getString(key));
 }

Hope this helps.

Do i need to add that as a receiver in my android manifest file ? – user2544363 Jul 12 '13 at 20:15
You need to mention a receiver in the manifest for which you would want to set up a service, which reacts to the received broadcast. – Shobhit Puri Jul 12 '13 at 20:21
Which tutorial were you following? Read the official docs and try this question for basic implementation; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11438464/android-gcm-basic-implementation – Shobhit Puri Jul 12 '13 at 20:26
Looks like the GCMBaseIntentService is deprecated. – user2544363 Jul 12 '13 at 21:02
Yes it has been depreciated very recently. If you read the [Getting Started](http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gs.html) guide, there is complete startup code for how to do it in new way. – Shobhit Puri Jul 12 '13 at 21:07
Thanks, yeah i have looked into it. – user2544363 Jul 13 '13 at 01:06
