How to implement multiple GCM push notifications in one application?

Question

I am trying to implement two third-party libraries (Parse & Localytics) that uses GCM push notifications, but I cannot get both to work together. This is either one or the other that will work.

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

GCM only knows your application, not the contents of the GCM payload.

You need a general receiver that can analyze the intent obtained for specific data, which identifies it as “Locals” or “Analysis”, then redirects that intent to the appropriate recipient for any service.

GCM is based on "registering applications" not on "registering application functions" - it will be delivered to your application, not to a specific recipient in your application.
