ANDROID GCM PUSH NOTIFICATION IN YOUR DEVICE EXAMPLE....

Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL



As per google’s documentation “Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that helps developers send data from servers to their Android applications on Android devices”. Using this service you can send data to your application whenever new data is available instead of making requests to server in timely fashion. Integrating GCM in your android application enhances user experience and saves lot of battery power.

Overview of Google Cloud Messaging, PHP and MySQL

In this tutorial i used PHP as server side programming language and MySQL as server side database. I installed WAMP server to install php, mysql, apache for me. If you are new to connecting PHP, MySQL to android application, i suggest you go through this tutorial
How to connect Android with PHP, MySQL
You can go through the official documentation if you want to know more about GCM.
The following diagram is illustrating the overview of the tutorial and the purpose of each entity involved in this tutorial.

GCM
GCM WORKING FLOW


Registering with Google Cloud Messaging

1. Goto Google APIs Console page and create a new project.
 (If you haven’t created already otherwise it will take you to dashboard)

Create Project ID
CREATE YOUR PROJECT ID.
2. After creating project you can see the project id in the url.
 Note down the project id which will be used as SENDER ID in android project. 
(Example: in #project:460866929976 after semicolon 460866929976 is the sender id)


3. After that click on Services on the left panel and turn on 
Google Cloud Messaging for Android.

GCM On
4. Once you are done, click on API Access and note down the API Key
This API key will be used when sending requests to GCM server.
Create API key
Creating MySQL Database
1. Open phpmyadmin panel by going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
 and create a database called gcm
(if your localhost is running on port number add port number to url)
2. After creating the database, select the database and execute following query in SQL tab to creategcm_users table.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `gcm_users` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `gcm_regid` text,
  `name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

config.php

<?php /** * Database config variables */ define("DB_HOST", "localhost"); define("DB_USER", "root"); define("DB_PASSWORD", ""); define("DB_DATABASE", "gcm"); /* * Google API Key */ define("GOOGLE_API_KEY", 
"AIzaSyAPIa9gan92h7h_BA8spxqxoBGTVIGCI54"); 
// Place your Google API Key ?>

3. Create another file called db_connect.php This file handles database connections, 
mainly opens and closes connection.

db_connect.php

<?php
  require_once 'config.php';
  
  
class DB_Connect{
public $result;
public $rowC;
    // constructor
    function __construct() {
    }
    // destructor
    function __destruct() {
        // $this->close();
    }
    // Connecting to database
    public function connect(){
       
        // connecting to mysql
        $con = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
        // selecting database
        mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE, $con);
        // return database handler
        return $con;
    }
  public function insert_query($q){
$val = mysql_query($q);
return $val;
}
public function select_query($q){
$this->result = mysql_query($q);
$this->rowC = mysql_num_rows($this->result);
return $this->result;
 
public function fetch_data(){
return mysql_fetch_assoc($this->result);
}
    // Closing database connection
    public function close() {
        mysql_close();
    }
?>
4. Create a new file named db_functions.php This file contains function to perform database CRUD operations. But i wrote function for creating user only.

db_functions.php

<?php class DB_Functions { private $db; //put your code here // constructor function __construct() { include_once './db_connect.php'; // connecting to database $this->db = new DB_Connect(); $this->db->connect(); } // destructor function __destruct() { } /** * Storing new user * returns user details */ public function storeUser($name, $email, $gcm_regid) { // insert user into database $result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO gcm_users(name, email, gcm_regid, created_at) VALUES('$name', '$email', '$gcm_regid', NOW())"); // check for successful store if ($result) { // get user details $id = mysql_insert_id(); // last inserted id $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gcm_users WHERE id = $id") or die(mysql_error()); // return user details if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { return mysql_fetch_array($result); } else { return false; } } else { return false; } } /** * Get user by email and password */ public function getUserByEmail($email) { $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gcm_users WHERE email = '$email' LIMIT 1"); return $result; } /** * Getting all users */ public function getAllUsers() { $result = mysql_query("select * FROM gcm_users"); return $result; } /** * Check user is existed or not */ public function isUserExisted($email) { $result = mysql_query("SELECT email from gcm_users WHERE email = '$email'"); $no_of_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); if ($no_of_rows > 0) { // user existed return true; } else { // user not existed return false; } } } ?>
5. Create another file named GCM.php 
This file used to send push notification requests to GCM server.
GCM.php

<?php

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */

/**
 * Description of GCM
 *
 * @author Ravi Tamada
 */
class GCM {

    //put your code here
    // constructor
    function __construct() {
        
    }

    /**
     * Sending Push Notification
     */
    public function send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message) {
        // include config
        include_once './config.php';

        // Set POST variables
        $url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';

        $fields = array(
            'registration_ids' => $registatoin_ids,
            'data' => $message,
        );

        $headers = array(
            'Authorization: key=' . GOOGLE_API_KEY,
            'Content-Type: application/json'
        );
        // Open connection
        $ch = curl_init();

        // Set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

        // Disabling SSL Certificate support temporarly
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));

        // Execute post
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        if ($result === FALSE) {
            die('Curl failed: ' . curl_error($ch));
        }

        // Close connection
        curl_close($ch);
        echo $result;
    }

}

?>

6. Create a new file called register.php 
This file receives requests from android device and stores the user in the database.
register.php

<?php

// response json
$json = array();

/**
 * Registering a user device
 * Store reg id in users table
 */
if (isset($_POST["name"]) && isset($_POST["email"]) && isset($_POST["regId"])) {
    $name = $_POST["name"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    $gcm_regid = $_POST["regId"]; // GCM Registration ID
    // Store user details in db
    include_once './db_functions.php';
    include_once './GCM.php';

    $db = new DB_Functions();
    $gcm = new GCM();

    $res = $db->storeUser($name, $email, $gcm_regid);

    $registatoin_ids = array($gcm_regid);
    $message = array("product" => "shirt");

    $result = $gcm->send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message);

    echo $result;
} else {
    // user details missing
}

?>

7. Create another file called send_message.php 
This file used to send pushnotification to android device by making a request to GCM server.
send_message.php

<?php

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */
if (isset($_GET["regId"]) && isset($_GET["message"])) {
    $regId = $_GET["regId"];
    $message = $_GET["message"];
    
    include_once './GCM.php';
    include_once './db_connect.php';

    $gcm = new GCM();


$result = new DB_Connect;
$result->connect();

$result->insert_query("INSERT INTO store (`id`,`msg`, `date`) VALUES (null, '$message', NOW())");



    $registatoin_ids = $regId;
    $message = array("price" => $message);

    $result = $gcm->send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message);

    echo $result;
}

?>

8. Finally create a file called index.php and paste the following code. 
The following code will create a simple admin panel to list all the user devices and 
provides a panel to send push notification to individual devices.
index.php

Installing helper libraries and setting up the Emulator

Before start writing android code we need to install the helper libraries and make required changes to the emulator.
1. Goto your android SDK folder and open SDK Manager and install Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library under Extras section. (If you don’t see Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library update your SDK manager to latest version)
2. After installing the library it will create gcm.jar file in yourAndoird_SDK_Folder\extras\google\gcm\gcm-client\dist. Later you need to add this .jar file to your android project.



3. Now open your AVD Manager and create a new Google API emulator and start the emulator. (Note: To test gcm application in emulator you need to test it on Google API device only)
4. After launching emulator press Menu button goto Settings. Select Accounts & Sync. And then press Add Account button and add a Google account.

Creating Android Project

1. Create a new android project and fill the required details. While creating project select minimum SDK version API 8 to support wider range of devices.
2. After creating new project open AndroidManifest.xml file and do the following changes.
The following permission are required to make your project support gcm.
INTERNET – To make your app use internet services
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE – To access network state (used to detect internet status)
GET_ACCOUNTS – Required as GCM needs google account
WAKE_LOCK – Needed if your app need to wake your device when it sleeps
VIBRATE – Needed if your support vibration when receiving notification
Also add some broadcast receivers as mentioned below.
In the following code replace all com.androidhive.pushnotifications with your android package name.
AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

8. Add a new class file called GCMIntentService.java This class handles all GCM related services.
GCMIntentService.java

public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
private static final String TAG = "GCMIntentService";

    public GCMIntentService() {
        super(SENDER_ID);
    }

    /**

        String message = intent.getExtras().getString("price");
        
        displayMessage(context, message);
        // notifies user
        
        
        generateNotification(context, message);
        //cv = new ContentValues();

    }

        String message = getString(R.string.gcm_deleted, total);
        displayMessage(context, message);
        // notifies user
        generateNotification(context, message);
    }

    /**

     */
    private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message) {
   
   
        int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
        long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
                context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when);
        
        String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
        
        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);

        notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
        
        // Play default notification sound
        notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
        
        //notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + context.getPackageName() + "your_sound_file_name.mp3");
        
        // Vibrate if vibrate is enabled
        notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
        notificationManager.notify(0, notification);  
        
        
        
        
     
   
        
        
    }

}


9. Here i am adding a registration screen where user can register using their details. To make this tutorial simple i am asking only name and email only. Once user registration is done the user details will be sent to our server where the user details will be stored in mysql database.
Create a new xml file called activity_register.xml under res -> layout folder and paste the following code.
activity_register.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >    
     
     <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:text="Full Name:"
         android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
         android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
         android:layout_marginTop="20dip"/>
     
     <EditText android:id="@+id/txtName" 
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_margin="10dip"
         android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"/>
     
     <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:text="Email:"
         android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
         android:layout_marginRight="10dip"/>
     
     <EditText android:id="@+id/txtEmail" 
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_margin="10dip"
         android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"/>
     
     <Button android:id="@+id/btnRegister"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:text="Register"
         android:layout_margin="10dip"/>

</LinearLayout>

10. Create a new class called RegisterActivity.java This class will be used to handler user registration.
In the following code first internet status and gcm configuration is checked and once user presses the registration button user details will be send to MainActivity.java from there they will send to our server.
RegisterActivity.java

package com.androidhive.pushnotifications;

import static com.androidhive.pushnotifications.CommonUtilities.SENDER_ID;
import static com.androidhive.pushnotifications.CommonUtilities.SERVER_URL;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class RegisterActivity extends Activity {
// alert dialog manager
AlertDialogManager alert = new AlertDialogManager();
// Internet detector
ConnectionDetector cd;
String s1,s2;
// UI elements
EditText txtName;
EditText txtEmail;
// Register button
Button btnRegister;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_register);
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("my", 0);
s1 = sp.getString("name", "");
s2 = sp.getString("email", "");
//e.commit();
if(s1.length()>0 && s2.length()>0){
Intent i = new Intent(this,MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
cd = new ConnectionDetector(getApplicationContext());

// Check if Internet present
if (!cd.isConnectingToInternet()) {
// Internet Connection is not present
alert.showAlertDialog(RegisterActivity.this,
"Internet Connection Error",
"Please connect to working Internet connection", false);
// stop executing code by return
return;
}

// Check if GCM configuration is set
if (SERVER_URL == null || SENDER_ID == null || SERVER_URL.length() == 0
|| SENDER_ID.length() == 0) {
// GCM sernder id / server url is missing
alert.showAlertDialog(RegisterActivity.this, "Configuration Error!",
"Please set your Server URL and GCM Sender ID", false);
// stop executing code by return
return;
}
txtName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtName);
txtEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtEmail);
btnRegister = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRegister);
/*
* Click event on Register button
* */
btnRegister.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// Read EditText dat
String name = txtName.getText().toString();
String email = txtEmail.getText().toString();
// Check if user filled the form
if(name.trim().length() > 0 && email.trim().length() > 0){
// Launch Main Activity
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("my", 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor e = sp.edit();
e.putString("name", name);
e.putString("email", email);
e.commit();
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
// Registering user on our server
// Sending registraiton details to MainActivity
i.putExtra("name", name);
i.putExtra("email", email);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}else{
// user doen't filled that data
// ask him to fill the form
alert.showAlertDialog(RegisterActivity.this, "Registration Error!", "Please enter your details", false);
}
}
});
}

}

GCM
11. Now open your main activity file (In my case MainActivity.java) and type the following code.
In the following code
I am receiving name, email sent from RegisterActivity and storing them in static variables.
Then i am checking whether this device has gcm registration id, if not i am registering it on gcm by callingGCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID) method
private final BroadcastReceiver mHandleMessageReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() method will be called when device gets a new push notification message. For now i am displaying the message on the screen. You might need to take appropriate action on the message depending upon your app requirement. (Example: Storing it in SQLite database)

Waking up device on receiving new notification

You can also wake the device on receiving new notification if the device is sleeping. Add the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file
WakeLocker.java

public abstract class WakeLocker {
    private static PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock;

    public static void acquire(Context context) {
        if (wakeLock != null) wakeLock.release();

        PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
        wakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK |
                PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP |
                PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, "WakeLock");
        wakeLock.acquire();
    }

    public static void release() {
        if (wakeLock != null) wakeLock.release(); wakeLock = null;
    }
}
