Android gcm client using GoogleCloudMessaging

I am using the new way of using gcm described here using GoogleCloudMessaging class. But 9 out of 10 times it is giving me SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE error. Only once it registers a device.

07-01 14:24:55.907    2074-2090/com.deveyes.carrefour          W/System.err:                   java.io.IOException: SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

07-01 14:24:56.037    2074-2090/com.deveyes.carrefour          W/System.err: at com.google.android.gms.gcm.GoogleCloudMessaging.register(Unknown Source)

My code is as follows inside my Activity:

 .....
     gcmRegId = gcm.register(CarrefourConfig.GCM_SENDER_ID);   
 .....

Later I came to know that I need to use Automatic retry. I have read this but this document seems to be old. As with the new way we do not use IntentService anymore. or do we ? Inside BroadcastReciever i can get the message and notify user.

what I am doing wrong here?

EDIT:

MY manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I had the same problem.

9/20 throws the SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE exception. Apparently it is a bug in the Google's side. Works on some devices (S3) and does not on others (LG L5).

Check Here.

I think the thing to do is use the old API temporarily until the issue is resolved.

hey in the GCM jar there should be something called GCMRegistrar you should use that method to register to GCM. following is the code, try it

GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
 GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
registerReceiver(mHandleMessageReceiver, new IntentFilter(
                DISPLAY_MESSAGE_ACTION));

        final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
        if (regId.equals("")) {
             GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID); //this is where it registers
        } else {

            if (GCMRegistrar.isRegisteredOnServer(this)) {
                   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Already registered with GCM", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

i hope it works for you

Here's the problem :

You should use the same package name in all 3 places below, but you use com.deveyes.carrefour.android in some cases and com.deveyes.carrefour in other cases.

<permission android:name="com.deveyes.carrefour.android.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
            android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.deveyes.carrefour.android.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
...
    <receiver
            android:name=".gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            <category android:name="com.deveyes.carrefour" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

If your package name is com.deveyes.carrefour, change the manifest to :

<permission android:name="com.deveyes.carrefour.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
            android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.deveyes.carrefour.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
...
    <receiver
            android:name=".gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            <category android:name="com.deveyes.carrefour" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
