You can consider this implementation to work with GCM

     Device A ------> Your Server ------> GCM Server ------> Device B
     Device B ------> Your Server ------> GCM Server ------> Device A

1. Does it allow user to user messaging?

  • To create a user to user messaging, you can use device to send a request to the GCM server and vice-versa for the corresponding device as illustrated above.

2. Where can I check the delivery status of upstream messages?

  • I refer the delivery status of the upstream message as the recipient getting a message on his device. When the recipient receives his message, you can send an acknowledge back to your server to indicate the success.

  • Alternatively, you can also check the status of your message being sent to your server and the GCM server if you wish to simplify the process.

Hope this helps!
