Parse receiving notifications on Android

Question

In my android app I'm getting this error when I try to receive push notification in logcat:

6-22 14:38:16.016 6570-6570/com.tekinarslan.material.sample E/com.parse.ManifestInfo﹕ Cannot use GCM for push because the app manifest is missing some required declarations. Please make sure that these permissions are declared as children of the root element: Also, please make sure that these services and broadcast receivers are declared as children of the element: 06-22 14:38:16.021 6570-6570/com.tekinarslan.material.sample E/com.parse.PushService﹕ Tried to use push, but this app is not configured for push due to: Push is not configured for this app because the app manifest is missing required declarations. Please add the following declarations to your app manifest to support either GCM or PPNS for push (or both). To enable GCM support, please make sure that these permissions are declared as children of the root element: Also, please make sure that these services and broadcast receivers are declared as children of the element: To enable PPNS support, please make sure that these permissions are declared as children of the root element: Also, please make sure that these services and broadcast receivers are declared as children of the element:

I think that I have all I need in my manifest, here it is:

Answer 1

your custom receiver needs the following actions in the intent-filters:

<receiver
  android:name=".ParseReceiver"
  android:exported="false">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.RECEIVE"/>
    <action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.DELETE"/>
    <action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.OPEN"/>
    ...
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

<receiver
  android:name="com.parse.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
  android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
    <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION"/>

    <category android:name="at.a1telekom.android.newsroom"/>
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

EDIT:

are you subscribing to parse like this?

Parse.initialize(context, appId, clientKey);    
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground( yourChannels, new SaveCallback() {...});

Answer 2

You are missing given code in the manifest. Include given code at the bottom of the Manifest file before tag.

 <receiver
        android:name="com.parse.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
        android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />

            <!-- IMPORTANT: Change "com.parse.tutorials.pushnotifications" to match your app's package name. -->
            <category android:name="com.tekinarslan.material.sample" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
    <receiver
        android:name="com.tekinarslan.material.sample.NotificationReceiver"
        android:exported="false" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.tekinarslan.material.sample.UPDATE_STATUS" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
