Answer 1

Please double-check your test is correct by ensuring your client code matches the completed example with appropriate fields replaced from here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=331303&clcid=0x409

The full instructions are found at: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/partner-xamarin-mobile-services-android-get-started-push/

If you still encounter issues after double-checking these, send me email at [e-mail] with your Mobile Service account name.

Refer to Migrate a Mobile Service to use Notification Hubs.

Microsoft had been upgraded the Mobile Service, to push notifications powered by Notification Hubs. You will not be affected if you created the mobile service before the upgrade.

Base on the response { isSuccessful: true, statusCode: 201, body ... }, it indicate that your Mobile Service is the new version.

If you prefer to send push without Notification Hubs, don't use push.gcm.send, use the following code snippet instead.

var legacyGcm = require('dpush');
legacyGcm.send(your_GCM_APIKEY, regId, item, function (error, response) {
    if (!error) {
        // success code
    } else {
        // error handling
    }
});
