Google cloud messaging receiver intent does not start (broadcast intent callback: result=CANCELLED forIntent)

Question

I am trying to make a GCM client, registration is fine. I am also successfully sending messages from server. However, the client does not start the intent. It says

09-30 08:39:59.795: W/GTalkService(4667): [DataMsgMgr] broadcast intent callback: result=CANCELLED forIntent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE cat=[dol.framework] (has extras) }

My Intent

public class GCMService extends IntentService{

    public GCMService(String name) {
        super("GCMService");
    }

    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
        String messageType = gcm.getMessageType(intent);
        android.util.Log.i("hi","test");
        if (!extras.isEmpty()) {

            if (GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_MESSAGE.equals(messageType)) {
                Logger.logInUI(tag, "Received: " + extras.toString());
            }
        }
        GCMReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);
    }
}

And my receiver

public class GCMReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(),
                GCMService.class.getName());
        startWakefulService(context, (intent.setComponent(comp)));
        Logger.log("hi","eetett");
        setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK);
    }
}

And finally my manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="dol.framework"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="dol.framework.activity.DebugActivity"
            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <receiver
            android:name="dol.framework.GCMReceiver"
            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
                <category android:name="dol.framework" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

        <service android:name="dol.framework.GCMService"/>
    </application>

</manifest>

Sorry for the wall of text. Both GCMService and GCMReceiver is at top of my package (dol.framework). What am I doing wrong? Other than those, I am not doing much. Only registering the device and then I am sending a message to this device. Log prints the message at top but does nothing. Shouldn't I start service or something? I didn't see anything related on examples.

In the permission you defined and used for GCM you have dol.framework.gcm.permission. It should be dol.framework.permission, since your app's package is dol.framework.

Thank you very much! It worked after that (I actually saw something related to permissions in logs but disregarded that, damn cost me hours) – Sep 30 '13 at 10:25

Try changing the receiver bit of your manifest to this:

   <receiver
        android:name=".GCMReciever"
        android:exported="true"
        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" />
            <action android:name="dol.framework" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Just a note, I'm using GCM (not C2DM), and don't need the `REGISTRATION` intent ([I also think it should be `REGISTER`, not `REGISTRATION`](https://developers.google.com/android/c2dm/)) – jedwards Sep 30 '13 at 09:46
Me too! The app I'm working on at the moment with that code in the manifest is working. Do you have the right library set up (ie. not the old one)? – dlee Sep 30 '13 at 09:50
