  • Make sure you have `Google Play Service` installed on the device you are testing. Also, if you are testing on a emulator this won't work. – Andy Res Sep 13 '13 at 07:00
  • i'm sure that Google play service is installed and i'm testing on a device. Actually it is working fine for sometimes and some other times it is not – user1386213 Sep 13 '13 at 10:05

The documentation says that:

When the application receives a com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION intent with the error extra set as SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE, it should retry the failed operation (register or unregister).

with other words, the registration failed on GCM servers and you should retry the operation again.

Make sure that you have Google Play Services installed on the device, and that you are on a stable internet connection.
