Android Push notification without user interaction

After some searching for my question "Android Push notification without user interaction?" I cant seem to find an answer..

There seems to be some conflicting answers in this post: Push Notification without user interaction

But this is for iOS.

So anybody who can give me the answer, without a user clicking on the notification, can it be intercepted in onMessage in android and then be used to run some code, like start the GPS and play a sound, if its in the background?

When you receive GCM messages those are intercepted by a BroadcastReceiver registered in your manifest file. What you do when such a message is received is completely up to you. It is not mandatory to show a notification whenever a GCM message arrives. In fact, many applications make all sorts of transparent uses of GCM, but you should always be mindful about battery consumption when it comes to that.

Cheers.
