You have to wait around 24 hours to get authorized for C2DM, sometimes more. But you will receive an email for confirmation when you can get your token using curl as explained in the docs.

This isn't correct. First the C2DM accounts are usually approved almost immediately. Second, Google do not proactively send an auth-token, it has to be requested from the ClientLogin API (and it expires, so this needs doing repeatedly) – Ollie C Mar 15 '12 at 10:09

You need to use the Google ClientLogin HTTP API to request an auth token, using your C2DM account email and password:

public static String getClientLoginAuthToken() {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin");
try {
    List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Email", "C2DMEMAILADDRESS));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Passwd", "C2DMPASSWORD));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("accountType", "GOOGLE"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("source", "Google-cURL-Example"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("service", "ac2dm"));
    post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
    HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
    String line = "";
    while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
        Trace.e("HttpResponse", line);
        if (line.startsWith("Auth=")) {
            return line.substring(5);
        }
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
Trace.e(TAG, "Failed to get C2DM auth code");
return "";
}

For more information on the auth token, see this tutorial: http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidCloudToDeviceMessaging/article.html

do i need to get authorization Token on android or server side ? — waseemwk, Mar 15 '12 at 16:18
On the server-side. The sample code above is Android code - I used it so I could build a test harness in the app to send push emssages to itself. — Ollie C, Mar 15 '12 at 16:23
