Intent Service Extras not found upon Receiving a message

[Marc Davies]

Hi i have a problem i cannot seem to fix. Currently i have an app that uses the GCM to receive notifications from a third party HTTP server and all my tests so far reveal that my registration to both the GCM and my server work fine and communication is going between the two of them. My problem is when ever i send a notification from my server (which is currently hosted in a live environment) my receiver gets pinged but nothing is ever shown and i receive this report on my LogCat.

07-19 11:13:37.475: W/ActivityManager(148): Unable to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE cat=[koodoo.pushtest] flg=0x10 cmp=koodoo.pushtest/.GCMIntentService (has extras) }: not found

I am currently using using the Code on the Google step by step guide as well as a bit of my own code to register to the HTTP server. Any help with this would be much appreciated thanks.

Check the Manifest. Make sure u have declared the custom permission so only your app can receive its messages. To include custom permission do the following:

         <permission
        android:name="<Your Package name>.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />

 And make sure you have declared the intent filters correctly for receiver declaration in Manifest. Sample Receiver declaration in Manifest.

      <receiver
            android:name=".GcmBroadcastReceiver"
            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
            <intent-filter>

                <!-- Receives the actual messages. -->
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
                <category android:name="<Your Package name>" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

thanks for your speedy reply when i make the changes you suggest I get an error saying that it could not instantiate the receiver.

here is my Manifest as it was before the change:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    package="koodoo.pushtest"

    android:versionCode="1"

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

        

         <receiver

            android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"

            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />

                <category android:name="koodoo.pushtest" />

            </intent-filter>

        </receiver>

         <!-- <service android:name="koodoo.pushtest.GCMIntentService" /> -->

        <service android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMIntentService" android:enabled="true" /> 

    </application>

</manifest>

       Change the Receiver name  from android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver" 

           

       to    android:name="koodoo.pushtest.GCMBroadcastReceiver"

Hi sorry for the delayed reply Im not in the office over the weekend so had no access to my project. I did as you said but also moved my broadcast receiver into a separate file and that fixed the problem. I originally had the receiver within the Main Activity class which was giving me the error. Thanks for the help it was greatly appreciated.

Doing all these changes, I m still getting the same error.

Unable to launch app com.myApp.xxx/10379 for broadcast Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE flg=0x10 pkg=com.myApp.xxx (has extras) }: process is bad
broadcast intent callback: result=CANCELLED forIntent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE pkg=com.myApp.xxx (has extras) }

Is the device you are testing with using an OEM specific auto start white list (for example: http://en.miui.com/thread-117992-1-1.html)? If so, you need to ensure your app is in that white list.

Alternatively, if the app was previously force closed by the user the app can't be started to receive messages until the user manually opens the app.
