GCM not delivering Amazon SNS

Question

I've set up a AWS server and an Android app with push notifications using GCM and SNS.

The app registers successfully, i.e. the BroadcastReceiver gets a notification with the registration ID. Problem is no SNS notifications go through.

Is there a way to check if the notification was received by the device, but not delivered to the BroadcastReceiver for some reason?

Also, maybe I've done something wrong (possibly with the package name)? Here is the manifest:

...
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="my.package.tester"
... >
<permission
    android:name="my.package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="my.package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"/>
...
<application
    ... >
    <service android:name="my.package.path.to.PushNotificationsService" >
    </service>
...
    <receiver android:name="my.package.path.to.PushNotificationsBroadcastReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER" />

            <category android:name="my.package" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
...
</application>
</manifest>

A few things you can check:

The receiver requires com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND permission. Please add android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" in the receiver block
The category of the intent filter should match your application name
If your device connects to WIFI, make sure GCM port (5228, 5229, and 5230) are whitelisted.
