You could have at least add some code to show us what you tried. – T-D Jul 17 '15 at 23:07

Yes you can send Image in the payload of the GCM, but the size must be less then 4096 Byte. Here is a list of resource.
Suggestion: It is better to send a link of this image using GCM after that you can retrieve the image from this link in the client side. In this way you can improve the response time for Group/Room messaging.

I am currently done by uploading the images to server and sending the uploaded image link to the user. But i don't get an idea on how to manage the received image. – Faisal TP Jan 04 '15 at 06:04

The suggestion given by BeingMIAkashs is correct. You can send, a URL from GCM server to the target device. The client app, can then perform a download of your image. Once the image is downloaded, then you can create a notification in your app and show it to the user.
