Parse Push notifications on Android

android, android-notifications, parsing, push-notification

Solution

You should turn on push notification from parse setting on the website parse.com

App -> Settings -> Push Notifications -> Client push enabled (should be on)

Problem

I am making an app that will use the Parse.com Push notifications, however it is not working like the guide shows. The issue is, i have set up the Parse push activity fine, registered the new installation, and am able to see which channels a user is subscribed to. I am able to receive the Push notification from parse, but unable to send from my app. There are no errors following in logcat, and parse records that a push was sent, but shows that there are "no subscribers" to the channel. In my onCreate: ``` Parse.initialize(MainActivity.this, "***", "***"); PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, MainActivity.class); PushService.subscribe(this, "Everyone", MainActivity.class); ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground(); ``` The Push code: ``` ParsePush push = new ParsePush(); push.setChannel("Everyone"); push.setMessage("Hey!"); push.sendInBackground(); ``` The manifest: ``` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" /> <application> .... <service android:name="com.parse.PushService" /> <receiver android:name="com.parse.ParseBroadcastReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <action android:name="android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> </application> ``` There are no errors in logcat, everything seems to be sent smoothly, but in parse i get the following messages: My Push ``` You sent this push notification to 0 recipients. Targeting : channels includes "Everyone" Sending date : November 28th, 2013 at 9:40 AM Expiration : None Full target : { "channels": { "$in": [ "Everyone" ] } } Full data : {"alert"=>"Hey!"} ``` The only changes i can see from the push that i send vs the Push that parse.com sends is the "Full data" field Parse Push ``` Targeting : channels includes "Everyone" deviceType is "android" Sending date : November 28th, 2013 at 9:21 AM Expiration : None Full target : { "channels": { "$in": [ "Everyone" ] }, "deviceType": "android" } **Full data : { "alert": "hi" }** ``` Thanks in advance for any help / ideas
