无法在Titanium中为Android配置推送通知

Question

To implement push notification service in my titanium app for android, I was going through this development document. At first, I configured push services for android device by creating a "Client ID". I saved the "Client ID" for further use, but i do not understand where this "Client ID" would be need as there is no information for this in the doc. Then I followed this doc to subscribe push notification and added "ti.cloudpush" module to the tiapp.xml. But unfortunately, I'm getting error while calling retrieveDeviceToken() method. Here is my code snippet -

// Require the module
var CloudPush = require('ti.cloudpush');
var deviceToken = null;

// Initialize the module
CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken({
    success: deviceTokenSuccess,
    error: deviceTokenError
});

// Enable push notifications for this device
// Save the device token for subsequent API calls
function deviceTokenSuccess(e) {
    deviceToken = e.deviceToken;
}
function deviceTokenError(e) {
    alert('Failed to register for push notifications! ' + e.error);
}

// Process incoming push notifications
CloudPush.addEventListener('callback', function (evt) {
    alert("Notification received: " + evt.payload);
});

And here is the error I'm getting in the console -

Failed receiving GCM SenderId. Getting GCM SenderId failed. Max retry time reaches.

Note - I didn't add anything for android manifest in tiapp.xml

When you're using Cloudpush module you will also need to configure the backend with settings. You can find how to do that in the documentation: https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Configuring_push_services-section-src-37551713_Configuringpushservices-ConfiguringpushservicesforAndroiddevices

If you want to use your own backend you will need to use a different module for sending push notifications on Android. For example ti.goosh or onesignal

The documentation of both modules will tell you how to configure the senderID.
