Detailed description :

I have used new GCM api to get registration id. I need that regId for internal use.

I have used code from following link of google: Google cloud messaging android .

I have noted one point. when ever I start app parse get deviceToken properly. After login I am updating "user" field using following code in onCreate of mainActivity

 ParseACL acl = new ParseACL();
 acl.setPublicReadAccess(true);
 acl.setPublicWriteAccess(true);

 ParseInstallation installation =     ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
    installation.setACL(acl);

    if (ParseUser.getCurrentUser() != null) {
        installation.put("user", ParseUser.getCurrentUser());
    }
 installation.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
        @Override
        public void done(ParseException e) {
            if (e == null) {
                Log.e("installation", "success");
                Log.i("parse", "token after save : " + ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().getString("deviceToken"));
                ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("", new SaveCallback() {

                    @Override
                    public void done(ParseException e) {

                        if (e != null) {

                            Log.e("error: ", e.getLocalizedMessage());
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } else {

                            Log.e("subscribed: ", "to broadcast channel");
                            Log.i("parse", "token after subscribe : " + ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().getString("deviceToken"));
                        }
                    }
                });

            } else {
                Log.e("installation", "failed");
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });

Generally when above code run deviceToken got changed to Above mentioned token which seems wrong. So My push notification is not working.

Answer 1

I have solved issue.

I need to pass GCM device token to other webservice so I have used following code to get token from GCM.

 InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
               String token = instanceID.getToken(CommonUtils.SENDER_ID,
                       GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE, null);

After getting token from this code parse's deviceToken changed. So instead of using above code I have used following code to get deviceToken and it solved the issue.

ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().getString("deviceToken");
