Java – No parsing push notification received in Android

No parsing push notification received in Android… here is a solution to the problem.

No parsing push notification received in Android

I’m implementing parsing notifications in my app, and this is my first time using push notifications.

I’ve been following this tutorial to master how parsing works!

Then I found PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, MainActivity.class); Deprecated and using This seeks guidance.

My code is as follows:

Android list file:

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

</manifest>

My broadcast receivers .java

:

package com.example.pchakraverti.pushnotification;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

import com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver;

/**
 * Created by PChakraverti on 5/27/2015.
 */
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {

@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

Log.i("TAG", "Push Received");

/*Intent launchIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, launchIntent, 0);

Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                .setContentTitle("Push Notification")
                .setContentText("hello")
                .setContentIntent(pi)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .build();

NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        nm.notify(0, notification); */
    }
}

Main Activity .java:

package com.example.pchakraverti.pushnotification;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

import com.parse.Parse;
import com.parse.ParseException;
import com.parse.ParseInstallation;
import com.parse.ParsePush;
import com.parse.SaveCallback;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Parse.initialize(this, "7Wm4v4FP28FHPW06zVBj6Ifcc8QeQObr3LUycs90", "U90b8QH4gLOXGfZLwBSqGqOZSo5GFLiu9sRi4bxW");

ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("", new SaveCallback() {
            @Override
            public void done(ParseException e) {
                if (e == null) {
                    Log.d("com.parse.push", "successfully subscribed to the broadcast channel.");
                } else {
                    Log.e("com.parse.push", "failed to subscribe for push", e);
                }
            }
        });
    }

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
         Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
         Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
         automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
         as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

When I send a push from parse.com, it says success, but I don’t receive anything on my android device.

Edit

I have updated the code according to the official tutorial.
But I still have problems.

Am I missing something?

You can see that a “Push Received” is logged in logcat extract.

But after that, I never received anything again!

What’s going on?

Solution

In general, I recommend official tutorial

  1. Your com.parse.ParseBroadcastReceiver uses the wrong operation name and should be:

    <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>

  2. You are missing this receiver (code from the tutorial linked above):

    <receiver android:name="com.parse.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
    android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
    <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />

<!--
      IMPORTANT: Change "com.parse.tutorials.pushnotifications" to match your app's package name.
    -->
    <category android:name="com.parse.tutorials.pushnotifications" />
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

  3. You must enable push notifications by subscribing to a channel, for example:

    ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("", new SaveCallback() {
    @Override
    public void done(ParseException e) {}
});
