Appcelerator/ Titanium: Cannot Send Push Notification To Android

I want to be able to send push notifications using Titanium and Arrow Push on Android. I have followed the instructions here: Configuring Push Services Subscribing to push notifica

Solution 1:

Turns out my code was fine. The credentials I was using however was incorrect. Please see my other related question here:

Appcelerator/ Titanium: Getting Android credentials to push notifications

The docs are in need of updating.

Solution 2:

I'm hardly an expert with push, but I compared what you have to what I have in one of my apps.

Pretty sure you need to send the deviceToken into the subscribeToChannel function.

Try changing this -

function subscribeToChannel () {

to this -

functionsubscribeToChannel(deviceToken) {

then add the token to the call here -

subscribeToChannel (deviceToken);

Let me know if that works for you.

Solution 3:

On subscribeToChannel() function, you should use type : 'gcm' instead of type: Ti.Platform.name

This is a commonJS module that I created for my Android push:

functionACSPush(_callback) {

    var debug_mode = true;
    varCloud = require('ti.cloud');        
    varCloudPush = require('ti.cloudpush');
    CloudPush.enabled = true; 
    var deviceToken;

    CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken({
        success : functiondeviceTokenSuccess(e) {
            if(debug_mode)
                Ti.API.info('Device Token: ' + e.deviceToken);
            deviceToken = e.deviceToken;
            if(Ti.App.Properties.getString("deviceToken") != deviceToken.toString()){
                defaultSubscribe();
            };
        },
        error : functiondeviceTokenError(e) {
            if(debug_mode)
                Ti.API.info('deviceTokenError.. :( ' + e.error);
        }
    });

    functiondefaultSubscribe() {
        Cloud.PushNotifications.subscribeToken({
            channel : 'MyChannel',
            device_token : deviceToken,
            type : 'gcm'
        }, function(e) {
            if(e.success) {
                if(debug_mode)
                    Ti.API.info("Success registerForPushNotifications");
                Ti.App.Properties.setString("deviceToken", deviceToken.toString());
            } else {
                if(debug_mode)
                    Ti.API.info('Error:\n' + ((e.error && e.message) || JSON.stringify(e)));
            };
        });
    };

    CloudPush.addEventListener('callback', function(evt) {
        var payload = JSON.parse(evt.payload);
        if(debug_mode){
            Ti.API.info("Received a push notification\nPayload:\n" + JSON.stringify(evt.payload));
            Ti.API.info("payload: " + payload);
        };
        _callback(payload);
    });
    CloudPush.addEventListener('trayClickLaunchedApp', function(evt) {
        if(debug_mode)
            Ti.API.info('Tray Click Launched App (app was not running)');
    });
    CloudPush.addEventListener('trayClickFocusedApp', function(evt) {
        if(debug_mode)
            Ti.API.info('Tray Click Focused App (app was already running)');
    });

};

module.exports = ACSPush;

Obviously, you must first configure Android Push Service http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Configuring_push_services-section-src-37551713_Configuringpushservices-ConfiguringpushservicesforAndroiddevices
