How to refresh activity on receiving gcm push notification<

Answer 1

Seems there is an easier way. In the OnMessageReceived method of the GCM Listener, you can just do the update from there instead of sending the notification. You can use the same code you would have used if processing the notification. If you're doing StartActivity from the listener, you have to use the ActivityFlags.NewTask flag.
