No device token when installation in Android device using notification from Parse

Question

I want to use Parse to push notification. When I test app on the Android emulator, I found some devices have deviceToken some devices do not. If there is no deviceToken then this device cannot receive notification. How can I solve that? Below is my code.

public class ShooksApplication extends Application {

public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    Parse.initialize(this, "***********", "*******************");
    ParseInstallation installation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();

    installation.saveInBackground();
}
}

And manifest is working because devices with deviceToken can receive notification. But I see the the pushType of all the data in Installation is gcm. Below is my manifest :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.cs442.project.team13" >

How can I solve this issue?

Have you setup everything into the manifest like receivers and service ? the installation should display gcm so that is not an issue. — Iulian
Hi, thank you for reply, yes, I set up receivers and service in my manifest, but issue is some devices installed with device token which can receive notification, but some cannot receive because of missing device token, I don't know why. — Chen

From what I can see in your Manifest the only solution might be removing

<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>
