So I am sending on the server side like so, using node-gcm
(https://github.com/ToothlessGear/node-gcm):
var gcm = require('node-gcm');
var message = new gcm.Message({
collapseKey: 'demo',
delayWhileIdle: true,
timeToLive: 3,
data: {
type: 'pong',
message: 'Hello Android!'
}
});
var sender = new gcm.Sender(myAPIKey);
var registrationIds = [aDoc.registrationId];
sender.send(message, registrationIds, 4, function (err, result) {
console.log(result);
});
And then on the client side, in my BroadcastReceiver, I get the Logcat message printing and the receive notification, but the extras (from the intent.getStringExtra("data") is null. How do I get it properly? I cannot find how to do it anywhere. The registration case works perfectly.
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.i(TAG, "GCM Received");
switch(action){
case GCM.ACTION_REGISTRATION:
String registrationId = intent.getStringExtra(GCM.KEY_REG_ID);
Log.i(TAG, "action received: registration: " + registrationId);
...
break;
case GCM.ACTION_RECEIVE:
String extras = intent.getStringExtra("data");
Log.v(TAG, "" + extras);
...
...
extras is consistantly null

Through experimentation, I have solved my problem. Instead of accesssing the data object directly, node-gcm adds the key-value pairs to the intent's extras directly:
Wrong:
// returns null
String dataJson = intent.getStringExtra("data");
Right:
// returns "pong"
String type = intent.getStringExtra("type");
