I’m trying to add push notification using Google Cloud Messaging to my Android application.

  • 0

I’m trying to add push notification using Google Cloud Messaging to my Android application. I don’t need anything fancy, I just want to notify all users of the app when certain events happen.

I don’t need to notify individual users, I always want to send the notification to every user. This is an internal app with a very limited number of users, it is not distributed publicly.

Now, as far as I understand the documentation I need a registration id for every notification I want to send. I don’t really want to keep track of those as I don’t need to identify individual devices.

  • Can I just broadcast to all devices without using any registration ids?
  • If not, how can I get the registration ids of all registered devices? Do I have to keep track of those manually (outside the GCM communication)?

    Can I just broadcast to all devices without using any registration ids?

    No, sorry, not at the present time.

    If not, how can I get the registration ids of all registered devices? Do I have to keep track of those manually (outside the GCM communication)?

    Yes, you have to keep track of those manually (e.g., have the app send you the registration ID via a Web service).
