UPDATE
SOLVED - Thank's to @MusiGenesis persistence with this I solved the problem by registering a new Google mail account and a new C2DM account. After updating the relevant credentials in the web server and the android app all started working like magic.
END OF UPDATE
I'm looking for a definitive list for causes of 401 unauthorised errors when sending a push notification so I can try to eliminate my problem.
I have a google email registered with C2DM I can use curl to get an authorisation code
I have the auth token from the registered user on my android app
Using the 2 auth tokens (refreshed) I get 401 unauthorised errors from my web server when sending a push notification request from my web server.
As far as I can tell I am doing everything I need to do so I'm looking for what I may be missing. I have scoured the internet and lots of people seem to be having the same problem with no definite answer. Any help greatly appreciated
UPDATE
As mentioned in the answer below it seems there is a second stage required to get a registration ID which appears to be different from the auth token received by the registered user on the android app. Having looked at the jumpnote code and these two resources
and
http://marakana.com/forums/android/general/272.html
I see no info regarding a second registration call to get a regisration ID in addition to the auth token. I'm obviously missing something and would be gratefull if someone could spell this out for me.
** UPDATE 2 **
My C2DM Receiver looks like this
public class C2DMReceiver extends C2DMBaseReceiver {
public C2DMReceiver() {
super(REGISTERED_GOOGLE_MAIL_ADDRESS);
}
@Override
public void onRegistered(Context context, String registrationId)
throws java.io.IOException {
// The registrationId should be sent to your application server.
Log.e("C2DM", "Registration ID arrived!");
Log.e("C2DM", registrationId);
Intent webSeverReg = new Intent(this, RegService.class);
startService(webServerReg);
};
@Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e("C2DM", "Message: Fantastic!!!");
// Extract the payload from the message
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
System.out.println(extras.get("payload"));
// Now do something smart based on the information
}
}
@Override
public void onError(Context context, String errorId) {
Log.e("C2DM", "Error occured!!!");
}
}
