Question

I’m using C2DM to send notification for my android App and it is working fine. But i am able to get only one notification at a time. so that while receiving the notification, it replaces previously received notification.

So how to receive multiple C2DM notification, like receiving normal SMS?

Answer 1

Give the messages different collapse_keys. Here’s an excerpt from the official docs:

An arbitrary string that is used to collapse a group of like messages
when the device is offline, so that only the last message gets sent to
the client. This is intended to avoid sending too many messages to the
phone when it comes back online. Note that since there is no guarantee
of the order in which messages get sent, the “last” message may not
actually be the last message sent by the application server. Required.

On a side note; you are not supposed to use the push messages too frequently:

Are you sending C2DM messages too frequently? If you need to
communicate with your application frequently over a short period of
time, C2DM is probably not the best solution. Instead, consider
implemeting XMPP or your own protocol to exchange messages, and use
C2DM only to send the initial notification.
