how to set valid time period for android c2dm message?

Question

I would like to implement a feature that only delivers messages to devices at specific periods. After the valid time, messages would be abandoned. Can anyone suggest me how to do this?

You should do some research first and go through a tutorial, [like this](http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidCloudToDeviceMessaging/article.html). Then come back here with a specific question and show your code where you are having problems. — koopaking3, Mar 08 '12 at 02:29

C2DM itself doesn't have such a facility so you have two choices:

Your server app only sends messages during certain times or
Your Android app receives the C2DM messages all the time, but during certain times you ignore/handle as appropriate.

Google just released a new version of c2dm called "Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)" at I/O 2012. With GCM its possible to define a timeout for your messages.

GCM ttl section: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/adv.html#ttl
