How can I receive notifications from GCM when application is stopped

Question

GCMIntentService (extends GCMBaseIntentService) doesn\'t receive notifications if the application is not running.

According to Francesco Nerieri in this android-gcm thread:

So if you force stop the app, the intended behavior for ICS is for the app to not receive the message. In JB this means that GCM will also unregister the app, this is an unfortunate behavior and we are working to change this (the unregister part in JB).
