How to receive a push notification in PubNub Android ???

Question

What will be the broadcast receiver to receive a push notification in pubnub android.

Answer 1

PubNub released a blog post that fully covers sending and receiving GCM with their Android SDK.

Sending and Receiving Android Push Notifications w/ GCM

To summarize, the receiver and intent filter should look as follows:

<receiver android:name=".GcmBroadcastReceiver" 
          android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" > 
    <intent-filter> 
        <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" /> 
        <category android:name="your.package.name" /> 
    </intent-filter> 
</receiver> 
<service android:name=".GcmIntentService" /> 
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
           android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> 

And your GcmBroadcastReceiver should look something like this:

public class GcmBroadcastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver { 
    @Override 
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { 
        ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), GcmIntentService.class.getName()); 
        startWakefulService(context, (intent.setComponent(comp))); 
        setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK); 
    } 
}

And finally, the GcmIntentService:

public class GcmIntentService extends IntentService {   
    public GcmIntentService() { 
        super("GcmIntentService"); 
    }   

    @Override protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) { 
        Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); 
        GoogleCloudMessaging gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(this); 
        String messageType = gcm.getMessageType(intent);   
        if (!extras.isEmpty() && GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_MESSAGE) {
            sendNotification("Received: " + extras.toString()); 
        } 
        GcmBroadcastReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent); 
    }
    ...
}
