GCM - GCMBroadcastReceiver is not getting called

Question

I have created a GCM Intent service and the device is getting registered successfully and server successfully send the message. but device don't get any notifications.

Below the log i see,

10-29 18:26:09.599: V/GCMBroadcastReceiver(30775): onReceive: com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE
10-29 18:26:09.599: V/GCMBroadcastReceiver(30775): GCM IntentService class: com.eye.hor.GCMIntentService
10-29 18:26:09.599: V/GCMBaseIntentService(30775): Acquiring wakelock

Below is the code for GCMBroadcastReceiver,

public class GcmBroadcastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    Log.i(context.getPackageName(), intent.getExtras().toString());
    Log.d("brdR", "askd");
    // Explicitly specify that GcmIntentService will handle the intent.
    ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), GcmIntentService.class.getName());
    // Start the service, keeping the device awake while it is launching.
    startWakefulService(context, (intent.setComponent(comp)));
    setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK);
}

}

Below is the code for GCMIntentService,

public class GcmIntentService extends IntentService {
public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
NotificationCompat.Builder builder;

public GcmIntentService() {
    super("GcmIntentService");
}

@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    GoogleCloudMessaging gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(this);
    // The getMessageType() intent parameter must be the intent you received
    // in your BroadcastReceiver.
    String messageType = gcm.getMessageType(intent);

    if (!extras.isEmpty()) { // has effect of unparcelling Bundle
        /*
         * Filter messages based on message type. Since it is likely that
         * GCM will be extended in the future with new message types, just
         * ignore any message types you're not interested in, or that you
         * don't recognize.
         */
        if (GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_SEND_ERROR.equals(messageType)) {
            // sendNotification("Send error: " + extras.toString());
        } else if (GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_DELETED.equals(messageType)) {
            // sendNotification("Deleted messages on server: " +
            // extras.toString());
            // If it's a regular GCM message, do some work.
        } else if (GoogleCloudMessaging.MESSAGE_TYPE_MESSAGE.equals(messageType)) {
            // This loop represents the service doing some work.
            // for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            // Log.d("", "Working... " + (i + 1) + "/5 @ " +
            // SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
            // try {
            // Thread.sleep(5000);
            // } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // }
            // }
            Log.d("true", "Completed work @ " + SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
            // Post notification of received message.
            sendNotification(extras.getString("msg"), extras.getString("title"), extras.getString("id"));

            Log.d("true", "Received: " + extras.toString());
        }
    }
    // Release the wake lock provided by the WakefulBroadcastReceiver.
    GcmBroadcastReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);
}

// Put the message into a notification and post it.
// This is just one simple example of what you might choose to do with
// a GCM message.
private void sendNotification(String msg, String title, String id) {
    mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    int notification_id = Integer.parseInt(id);

    // PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new
    // Intent(this, CommonUtils.class), 0);

    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon).setContentTitle(title)
            .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(msg)).setContentText(msg);

    // mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
    mNotificationManager.notify(notification_id, mBuilder.build());
}

}

This is manifest,

 <!-- GCM requires a Google account. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />

<!-- Keeps the processor from sleeping when a message is received. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

<!-- Creates a custom permission so only this app can receive its messages. -->
<permission
    android:name="com.eye.hor.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="com.eye.hor.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

<!-- This app has permission to register and receive data message. -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />

<!-- Permission to vibrate -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />

Receiver Code in Manifest,

<receiver
        android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
        android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
        <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.eye.hor.service" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

    <service android:name="com.eye.hor.service.GCMIntentService" />

My main package name is com.eye.hor but i placed GCMIntentService and GCMBroadcastReceiver java files in the com.eye.hor.service package. i already put log in these two classes but they not reach. please help

If any one knows where am i wrong, please help me to solve this. — user3800832
The problem has to be server side. I have a similar implementation and it works just fine. What server are you using? — user3629714
i have saver which runs on php and MySql. Is my above implementation ok ??? Now i changed code as @Eran said. — user3800832
Which php lib are you using? The server is the problem, not this client. — user3629714

Looks like you already know you have a problem with the package names :

The following looks for your service class in the wrong package :

ComponentName comp = 
    new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), // this is the main package of
                                                // your app - com.eye.hor
                      GcmIntentService.class.getName());

Change it to :

ComponentName comp = 
    new ComponentName(GcmIntentService.class.getPackage().getName(), 
                      GcmIntentService.class.getName());

You should also change the category in your manifest to the main package :

<category android:name="com.eye.hor.service" />

to

<category android:name="com.eye.hor" />
