Same API Key for sending notification via GCM

I need to implement GCM notification feature in my app. But I have two apps with different app package names. Is possible to use same API key for both apps?

Also I want to know, if it is possible, is it required to have both apps on Google store? Isn't it possible to have one app on Google store and other on some other app distributor channel?

Thanks,

Multiple applications can receive downstream messages from the same server (with single API key), The clients have to register to notify GCM which server they want to receive messages from.

On Android GCM is part of Google Play Services. The device must have Google Play Services in order to use GCM. Generally this means Google Play Store only.
