Failed to start Intent service {act = com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION (has additional functions)} U = 0: not found

Question

I am trying to get the device registration ID (testing using emulator) to configure push notifications using GCM.

I tried the following code that gives me the following error:

Unable to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION (has extras) } U=0: not found 

Manifest file

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.me.pushnotifications" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/> <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"/> <permission android:name="com.me.pushnotifications.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" /> <uses-permission android:name="com.me.pushnotifications.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" /> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <receiver android:name="com.me.pushnotifications.MyBroadcastReceiver" 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="com.me.pushnotifications"/> </intent-filter> </receiver> <activity android:name="com.me.pushnotifications.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> 

I am using BroadcastReceiver to achieve this:

 package com.me.pushnotifications; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.util.Log; public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{ @Override public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent intent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String action = intent.getAction(); Log.i("action::",action); try{ if(action.equals("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION")){ String regId = intent.getStringExtra("registration_id"); String error = intent.getStringExtra("error"); String unregistered = intent.getStringExtra("unregistered"); Log.i("regId::",regId); } else if(action.equals("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE")){ String data = intent.getStringExtra("data"); Log.i("data::",data); } } finally{ } } } 

Mainactivity

 package com.me.pushnotifications; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.PendingIntent; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); final Context context = getApplicationContext(); final String appId = getResources().getString(R.string.appId) ; Log.i("appName::",appId); Button activateButton,deactivateButton; activateButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.activateButton); deactivateButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.deactivateButton); activateButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.i("activate::","clicked"); Intent regIntent = new Intent("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION"); Log.i("intent::","created"); regIntent.putExtra("app", PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent(), 0)); regIntent.putExtra("sender", "registration_id"); startService(regIntent); } }); deactivateButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.i("deactivate::","clicked"); Intent unregIntent = new Intent("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.UNREGISTER"); Log.i("intent::","created"); unregIntent.putExtra("app", PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent(), 0)); startService(unregIntent); } }); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } } 

I installed the Google API for API level 18. What could be causing the problem?

Answer 1

add this line to your filter object tag in the manifest file

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

Like this

 <intent-filter> <!-- Receives the actual messages. --> <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" /> <!-- Receives the registration id. --> <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" /> <category android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications" /> </intent-filter> 

Answer 2

Use this:

 <receiver android:name="com.example.gcmclient.GcmBroadcastReceiver" android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" /> <!-- Receives the registration id. --> <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER" /> <category android:name="com.example.gcmclient" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <service android:name="com.example.gcmclient.GcmMessageHandler" /> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <service android:name=".GcmIntentService" />
