I'm no expert on push notifications, but my understanding was that the device receives the push notification then sends out a broadcast that can be handled by your app, which will be started if need be. http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gs.html Section 4. "This broadcast receiver is responsible for handling the 2 intents that can be sent by GCM (com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE and com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION) and should be defined in the manifest (rather than programmatically) so that *these intents can be received even if the application is not running*." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
