why GCM is not giving push notification in android device?

Question

I am new to android and doing a demo app for gcm push notification.

I have developed all this code and GCM push notification is coming on devices in my environment, but when I test this code in other network device gets registration id,but server side gets mismatch sender id response when sending messages to cloud. My code is given bellow:

        checkNotNull(CommonUtilities.SENDER_ID, "SENDER_ID");

    GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
    GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_push_android);
    mDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display);

    final String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
    Log.i(TAG, "registration id =====  " + regId);

    if (regId.equals("")) {
        GCMRegistrar.register(this, CommonUtilities.SENDER_ID);
    } else {
        // Device is already registered on GCM
        if (GCMRegistrar.isRegisteredOnServer(this)) {
            // Skips registration.
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Already registered with GCM", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .show();
        } else {
            // Try to register again, but not in the UI thread.
            // It's also necessary to cancel the thread onDestroy(),
            // hence the use of AsyncTask instead of a raw thread.
            // final Context context = this;
            mRegisterTask = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {

                @Override
                protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
                    // Register on our server
                    // On server creates a new user
                    // ServerUtilities.register(context, name, email,
                    // regId);
                    return null;
                }

                @Override
                protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
                    mRegisterTask = null;
                    mDisplay.setText("ffffff        " + regId);
                }

            };
            mRegisterTask.execute(null, null, null);
        }
    }
    // regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);
    mDisplay.setText("ffffff        " + regId);
    Log.i(TAG, "registration id =====!!!!  " + regId);
}

private void checkNotNull(Object reference, String name) {
    if (reference == null) {
        throw new NullPointerException(getString(R.string.error_config,
                name));
    }
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    GCMRegistrar.unregister(this);
}
  }

receiver:

public GCMIntentService() {
    super(CommonUtilities.SENDER_ID);

}

private static final String TAG = "===GCMIntentService===";

@Override
protected void onRegistered(Context arg0, String registrationId) {
    Log.i(TAG, "Device registered: regId = " + registrationId);
}

@Override
protected void onUnregistered(Context arg0, String arg1) {
    Log.i(TAG, "unregistered = " + arg1);
}

@Override
protected void onMessage(Context arg0, Intent message) {
    Bundle extras = message.getExtras();

    for (String key : extras.keySet()) {
        Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(),
                String.format("onMessage: %s=%s", key,
                        extras.getString(key)));

        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "hii", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show();
    }
    Log.i(TAG, "new message= ");

    // ///////////////////

    long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
            (CharSequence) message, when);
    String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context,
            PushAndroidActivity.class);
    // set intent so it does not start a new activity
    notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
            | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
    PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
            notificationIntent, 0);
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, (CharSequence) message,
            intent);
    notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
    notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}

@Override
protected void onError(Context arg0, String errorId) {
    Log.i(TAG, "Received error: " + errorId);
}

@Override
protected boolean onRecoverableError(Context context, String errorId) {
    return super.onRecoverableError(context, errorId);
}
  }

This code has given me a registration id successfully.To test my code I have executed a java class to send message to cloud.That java class is:

  public static void main(String args[]) {

    try {

        Sender sender = new Sender(
                "my server api");

        ArrayList<String> devicesList = new ArrayList<String>();

        devicesList
                .add("reg id");
        // devicesList.add("reg id");

        // Use this line to send message without payload data
        // Message message = new Message.Builder().build();

        // use this line to send message with payload data
        Message message = new Message.Builder()
                .collapseKey("1")
                .timeToLive(3)
                .delayWhileIdle(true)
                .addData("message",
                        "this text be will be seen in notification bar!!")
                .build();

        // Use this code to send to a single device
        // Result result = sender
        // .send(message,
        // "APA91bGiRaramjyohc2lKjAgFGpzBwtEmI8tJC30O89C2b3IjP1CuMeU1h9LMjKhmWuZwcXZjy1eqC4cE0tWBNt61Kx_SuMF6awzIt8WNq_4AfwflaVPHQ0wYHG_UX3snjp_U-5kJkmysdRlN6T8xChB1n3DtIq98w",
        // 1);

        // Use this for multicast messages
        MulticastResult result = sender.send(message, devicesList, 1);
        sender.send(message, devicesList, 1);

        System.out.println(result.toString() + "\n");
        if (result.getResults() != null) {
            int canonicalRegId = result.getCanonicalIds();
            if (canonicalRegId != 0) {
                System.out.println(canonicalRegId);
            }
        } else {
            int error = result.getFailure();
            System.out.println(error);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
  }

Now the problem is I am not getting any push notification or log cat message.Thanks in advance for help. Manifest:

Answer 1

At last I found the reason.My company firewall was blocking all messages from GCM. So I just removed firewall and able to receive messages from GCM . Go through this link to know more about firewall issues

Hope it will help somebody in future.

Try to ping google.com from your server. If it is not success try to investigate your server configuration.

Eg Check you /etc/resolv.conf and see if you have:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
