WakefulBroadcastReceiver onReceive not triggering android GCM

Question

I implemented GCM notifications in Android and everything was working fine. I'm sending Notifications to the phone via a PHP server using the Google Cloud Messaging Service.
After a week or so I installed that app again on my phone and send a test notification onto my phone but I got nothing. The PHP script runs without any error with success=1 and no cononical id's in the GCM response. WakufulBroadcastReceiver isn't triggered in the android app.

Here is the complete code that I am using:

GcmBroadcastReceiver.java

public class GcmBroadcastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d("", "In Receive Method of Broadcast Receiver");
        ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), GcmMessageHandler.class.getName());
        startWakefulService(context, intent.setComponent(cn));
        setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK);
    }
}

GcmMessageHandler.java

public class GcmMessageHandler extends IntentService{

    Handler handler;
    public GcmMessageHandler() {
        super("GcmMessageHandler");
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
    public GcmMessageHandler(String name) {
        super("GcmMessageHandler");
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        handler = new Handler();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        GoogleCloudMessaging gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(this);
        String messageType = gcm.getMessageType(intent);
        final String message = intent.getExtras().getString("name");
         Log.d("GCM", "Received : (" +messageType+")  "+intent.getExtras().getString("name"));
        handler.post(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
        GcmBroadcastReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);

    }

}

In MainActivity.java I am using this task to register

private class Register extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>{

        String regID;

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
            try{
                regID = gcm.register("40441*******");

            }catch(Exception ex){
                regID = "Failed";
                //Log.d("", ex.getMessage());
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
            return regID;
        }
        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            etRegid.setText(result);
            Log.d("", result);
            super.onPostExecute(result);
        }

    }

PhpResponse:

{
    "multicast_id": 7260653358308753695,
    "success": 1,
    "failure": 0,
    "canonical_ids": 0,
    "results": [{
        "message_id": "0:1422710889970517%ef663a58f9fd7ecd"
    }]
}

Help me! Thanks.

Note: GooglePlayServices are installed in the phone as well. I get no error while registration.

pls post entire log cat.and also check php script response while sending gcm. — Imtiyaz Khalani
log cat has nothing to show. nothing related. and php script gives no response. — Usman Riaz
Have you tried on different devices? You may take look at here to gain some idea. — bjiang

Make sure you have

Signed the build with the correct key (dev vs production)
Updated your php script to send the message to the new GCM registration id
