Dear if you have downloaded "GCM package from SDK manager" then there are samples for Client, Server. Just check **android-sdk/extras/google/GCM** directory — Paresh Mayani, Jul 13 '12 at 04:46
@PareshMayani http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/4508859#4508859 but not able to find in sdk manager in extras folder — Khan, Jul 13 '12 at 05:36
Quick question - in the method `register`, is the sender-ID (here: 555817657362) per-device or per-application (device independent)? — Gaurav Vaish, May 14 '13 at 11:00

You need to download via Android SDK. go to Window->Android SDK Manager. scroll down to extra and check "Google Cloud Messaging" and install.

after completed, you may check at : android-sdk/extras/google/gcm/samples

or you could try this (I've uploaded myself) : gcm

for server side, check on this answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/11253231/554740

"curl" command line tool can be used to send messages to devices registered with GCM.

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: key= <YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "registration_ids": [
    "<YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN>"
  ],
  "data": {
    "message": "<YOUR_MESSAGE>"
  }
}' \
  https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send

Please refer to this blog post for further details. http://www.zinniakhan.com/2014/07/check-google-cloud-messaging-gcm-client.html.

works like a charm for me, please note!!! dont put any characters like (which need to be espaced) "It's me, some dummy message" into message ;) because it will produce u lots of pain. – cV2 Sep 25 '14 at 16:11

We have a sample client up on GitHub: https://github.com/indigorose/airbop-client (based on the GCM client sample), which works with our GCM-based service AirBop: http://www.airbop.com Which you can test with for free.

I found an open-source sender client for windows here: https://gcm.codeplex.com/

Device token can be found after you implement the GCM registration code and retrieve your registration ID via your client app (setup a breakpoint or print statement so that you are able to copy/paste this value, it's pretty long)
Auth key is found after you setup your project in Google's developer console
