Android C2DM - Works in real device but not in Emulator

I'm trying to use the C2DM framework.

I can receive push messages on my real device (so it seems that my application code is fine) but with the same application I don't receive any messages on the emulator (I tried with the Google API 8, Google API 10 and Google API 15).

Retrieving a registration id for the device is fine.

I just don't receive any messages

Do you know what could be wrong?

Thank you for your help and regards,

of course it will not work emulator . coz C2DM is configure with Gmail account for mapping a unique device .

C2DM get API generate the device id vai gmail account and that id is unique and emulator dont have gmail API to configure account

Since emulators (by default) dont have Google Account service (Gmail/Market) available, thats why you cant test on them - unless you configure your google account. Otherwise, it should be tested on real devices

-You must have android sdk 2.2+ and google service must be running on your emulator (We would recommend to install google sdk 2.3.1)

-You must register your Google account on your emulator. You can do it by going to Settings -> Accounts & Sync and add gmail account. You cannot receive push notification unless Google account is set.

-You must register your developer’s email address for your application at google . Please note one thing that this account is developer’s account and might not be account which is configured in ‘Accounts & Sync’ settings.
