Is it possible to simulate a GCM receive from the adb shell / am command line? I'm getting an error

I suggest using command-line curl, as sending GCM pushes is as easy as calling some REST API. See sample shell script below:

#!/bin/bash

REGISTRATION_ID=YOUR_GCM_REGISTRATION_ID

SERVER_KEY=YOUR_SERVER_KEY_FROM_GOOGLE_API_CONSOLE

curl --header "Authorization: key=$SERVER_KEY" --header  Content-Type:"application/json"  https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send  -d  "{ \"data\" : {\"foo\": \"bar\"}, \"registration_ids\":[\"$REGISTRATION_ID\"]  }"
