GCM Push notification not working when App is no longer running

Question

I am implementing GCM push notification service, for that I used Service class to extend my class. So Service that I implemented is running in background continuously. But I am not getting any notification when app is idle for long time.It is working only for, when app is running in stack.

I know, we cannot get notification when App is close from Stack.

Please help me to get notification when app is not running for long time (like Whatsapp or Gmail).

I used IntentService but it is working only when app is running(foreground or background).

I am using GcmListenerService and it does not have any 'onStartCommand' method to override ?? — Sudhanshu Gaur, Aug 29 '16 at 15:04
@Sudhanshu used like.. public class yourclassname extends Service {} — RoHiT, Aug 30 '16 at 06:32
SO without using GcmListenerService how are you doing this ?? can you please show me your whole code — Sudhanshu Gaur, Aug 30 '16 at 10:56
@RoHiT, could you post the solution you found as an answer under this question. This would help a lot! — Valeriya, Dec 13 '16 at 13:27
public class GCMNotificationIntentService extends Service {} — RoHiT, Dec 17 '16 at 06:52

Read this, IntentService stops itself when it runs out of work.

and about notification it may be comes at any time for that you need to put BroadcastReceiver.

It's hard to say what exactly you are doing and what your code is. I would recommend you download Google's GCM sample here: https://github.com/googlesamples/google-services/tree/master/android/gcm

Get that to work first (just use your server to push the push to the app).

Then you can just implement that boiler plate code in your own app and it should work as expected.

Hope that helps.
