I followed the tutorial Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL. My application only gets the notifications if I synchronize my mobile with Gmail before installing the application. If I install the application first and then synchronize my mobile with Gmail, it's not geting the notifcations.
Code
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Asynchronous task
AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> mRegisterTask;
// Alert dialog manager
AlertDialogManager alert = new AlertDialogManager();
// Connection detector
ConnectionDetector cd;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
cd = new ConnectionDetector(getApplicationContext());
// Make sure the device has the proper dependencies.
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
// Make sure the manifest was properly set - comment out this line
// while developing the app, then uncomment it when it's ready.
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
registerReceiver(mHandleMessageReceiver,
new IntentFilter(DISPLAY_MESSAGE_ACTION));
// Get GCM registration id
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
// Check if regid already presents
if (regId.equals("")) {
// Registration is not present, register now with GCM
GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID);
}
else {
// The device is already registered on GCM
if (GCMRegistrar.isRegisteredOnServer(this)) {
// Skips registration.
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Already registered with GCM",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else {
// Try to register again, but not in the UI thread.
// It's also necessary to cancel the thread onDestroy(),
// hence the use of AsyncTask instead of a raw thread.
final Context context = this;
mRegisterTask = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Register on our server
// On server creates a new user
// ServerUtilities.register(context, name, email, regId);
ServerUtilities.register(context, regId);
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
mRegisterTask = null;
}
};
mRegisterTask.execute(null, null, null);
}
}
}
/**

private final BroadcastReceiver mHandleMessageReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// newMessage = intent.getExtras().getString(EXTRA_MESSAGE);
// Waking up mobile if it is sleeping
WakeLocker.acquire(getApplicationContext());
