Here I have written a few steps for How to Get RegID and Notification starting from scratch
You can find a complete tutorial here:
Code snippet to get Registration ID (Device Token for Push Notification).
Configure project for GCM
To enable GCM in our project we need to add a few permissions to our manifest file. Go to AndroidManifest.xml
and add this code:
Add Permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET”/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name=“.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name=“<your_package_name_here>.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<permission android:name=“<your_package_name_here>.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Add GCM Broadcast Receiver declaration in your application tag:
<application
<receiver
android:name=".GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" ]]>
<intent-filter]]>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<category android:name="" />
</intent-filter]]>
</receiver]]>
<application/>
Add GCM Service declaration
<application
<service android:name=".GcmIntentService" />
<application/>
Now Go to your Launch/Splash Activity
Add Constants and Class Variables
private final static int PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;
public static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "message";
public static final String PROPERTY_REG_ID = "registration_id";
private static final String PROPERTY_APP_VERSION = "appVersion";
private final static String TAG = "LaunchActivity";
protected String SENDER_ID = "Your_sender_id";
private GoogleCloudMessaging gcm =null;
private String regid = null;
private Context context= null;
Update OnCreate and OnResume methods
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_launch);
context = getApplicationContext();
if (checkPlayServices()) {
gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(this);
regid = getRegistrationId(context);
if (regid.isEmpty()) {
registerInBackground();
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "No valid Google Play Services APK found.");
}
}
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
checkPlayServices();
}
// # Implement GCM Required methods(Add below methods in LaunchActivity)
private boolean checkPlayServices() {
int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isUserRecoverableError(resultCode)) {
GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this,
PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST).show();
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "This device is not supported - Google Play Services.");
finish();
}
return false;
}
return true;
}
private String getRegistrationId(Context context) {
final SharedPreferences prefs = getGCMPreferences(context);
String registrationId = prefs.getString(PROPERTY_REG_ID, "");
if (registrationId.isEmpty()) {
Log.d(TAG, "Registration ID not found.");
return "";
}
int registeredVersion = prefs.getInt(PROPERTY_APP_VERSION, Integer.MIN_VALUE);
int currentVersion = getAppVersion(context);
if (registeredVersion != currentVersion) {
Log.d(TAG, "App version changed.");
return "";
}
return registrationId;
}
private SharedPreferences getGCMPreferences(Context context) {
return getSharedPreferences(LaunchActivity.class.getSimpleName(),
Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
private static int getAppVersion(Context context) {
try {
PackageInfo packageInfo = context.getPackageManager()
.getPackageInfo(context.getPackageName(), 0);
return packageInfo.versionCode;
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Could not get package name: " + e);
}
}
private void registerInBackground() {
new AsyncTask() {
@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object...params) {
String msg = "";
try {
if (gcm == null) {
gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(context);
}
regid = gcm.register(SENDER_ID);
Log.d(TAG, "########################################");
Log.d(TAG, "Current Device's Registration ID is: " + msg);
} catch (IOException ex) {
msg = "Error :" + ex.getMessage();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Object result) {
//to do here
};
}.execute(null, null, null);
}
Note : please store REGISTRATION_KEY
, it is important for sending PN Message to GCM. Also keep in mind: this key will be unique for all devices and GCM will send Push Notifications by REGISTRATION_KEY
only.
