Weird push message received on app start

Question

I\'m getting a weird push message captured by my push service:

Bundle[{CMD=RST_FULL, from=google.com/iid, android.support.content.wakelockid=1}]

See the updated GCM API Docs as @morepork suggests.

For existing apps that extend a WakefulBroadcastReceiver, Google recommends migrating to GCMReceiver and GcmListenerService. To migrate:

In the app manifest, replace your GcmBroadcastReceiver with "com.google.android.gms.gcm.GcmReceiver", and replace the current service declaration that extends IntentService to the new GcmListenerService

Remove the BroadcastReceiver implementation from your client code

Refactor the current IntentService service implementation to use GcmListenerService

For details, see the example manifest and code samples in this page.

From their sample code, it's pretty easy to follow.

AndroidManifest.xml

MyGcmListenerService.java

public class MyGcmListenerService extends GcmListenerService {
    @Override
    public void onMessageReceived(String from, Bundle data) {
        final String message = data.getString("message");
        makeNotification(message);
    }
}

MyGcmRegistrationService.java

public class MyGcmRegistrationService extends IntentService {
    private static final String TAG = "MyRegistrationService";
    private static final String GCM_SENDER_ID = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
    private static final String[] TOPICS = {"global"};

    public MyGcmRegistrationService() {
        super(TAG);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        try {
            synchronized (TAG) {
                InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(this);
                String token = instanceID.getToken(GCM_SENDER_ID,
                        GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE, null);
                sendTokenToServer(token);
                subscribeTopics(token);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private void subscribeTopics(String token) throws IOException {
        for (String topic : TOPICS) {
            GcmPubSub pubSub = GcmPubSub.getInstance(this);
            pubSub.subscribe(token, "/topics/" + topic, null);
        }
    }
}

MyInstanceIdListenerService.java

public class MyInstanceIdListenerService extends InstanceIDListenerService {
    public void onTokenRefresh() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyGcmRegistrationService.class);
        startService(intent);
    }
}

Then you can replace your old registration code with just

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyGcmRegistrationService.class);
startService(intent);
