INVALID_SENDER error at GCM registration

Question

I am developing application where I want to implement push notification for that I am using GCM, I have registered my project on google console and using project ID as senderID for GCM registraton.

GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this); //no error 
GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this); //no error          
final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);               
if (regId.equals("")) {
            GCMRegistrar.register(this, "********"); //after this.. 
                                       //onError method of GCMIntentService class
                                      //is triggered, there I am printing error
                                     //in log its saying INVALD_SENDER 
        }

I have given all required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml

SENDER_ID = Project Number, I was using Project Id.. Project Number is available on console beside project id.

Or in the _google-services.json_ file that you should have placed in the root of your android project. – Joseph Garrone Oct 10 '16 at 19:34

Google has changed its layout. you can find project_number from here

select project -> My Project

click three dots -> Project Information -> Project Number

THANK YOU! Was going around in circles on these screens. Very poor layout. – Groovee60 Apr 08 '16 at 18:23

Here is a working example for push notifications, hope this helps:

private String SENDER_ID = "xxxxxxx";
private GoogleCloudMessaging gcm;

//somewhere else
gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(context);
String msg = gcm.register(SENDER_ID);

I recently got some service not available errors here so I also implemented a Broadcastreciever to recieve the regestration token.

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
    if (data!=null){
        String regId = data.getString("registration_id");
    }
}

cant find GoogleCloudMessaging. I think you are using google-play-service_lib project. but I am using gcm.jar — DCoder, Apr 30 '14 at 06:18
