Parse sending notifications in dashboard but Android device not receiving

I've successfully created a Parse app and I'm using the application keys in my Android app implementation. I've followed all the steps here https://www.parse.com/apps/quickstart?onboard=#parse_push/android/existing (registration required unfortunately, but it's an instant process) and when I send a test push notification it is dispatched from the dashboard and is even received by a virtual device I'd set up as a control but nothing happens on a physical device. I thought it might be a socket issue so I alternated between wifi and 3G connections with no success
Here's the code I'm using:
Main:
package com.wetu.chronicle;
import android.os.Bundle;
import org.apache.cordova.*;
import com.parse.Parse;
import com.parse.ParseAnalytics;
import com.parse.ParseInstallation;
import com.parse.PushService;
public class chronicle extends DroidGap
{
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
Parse.initialize(this, "xxxxxxxxx", "yyyyyyyyyyyy");
PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, chronicle.class);
PushService.subscribe(this, "Newsfeed", chronicle.class);
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
}
}

I'm available to clarify any questions you might have and/or post additional code.

Its most likely because your app isn't active in the background. A lot of my android apps have been struggling from this. A decent solution might be to make sure there is an alarm clock that wakes the app up. I've never dealt with parse though so this may not work, its worked for me in other scenarios though

Cocos2d-x Android - Google Play Game Services App crashes on connect()

I tried to implement Google Play Game Services within my Cocos2d-x project based on the baseGameUtils sample project following this description:
http://www.cocos2d-x.org/forums/6/topics/28296
However, the application crashes within the connect() method of the sample file GameHelper.java calling the method
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
The error occurs within the call of the connect() method of the com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient, since neither the onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) nor the onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) method gets called.
Logcat shows the following messages:
W/ActivityManager( 698): Unable to start service Intent { cmp=com.android.email/.service.AttachmentDownloadService } U=0: not found
W/ActivityManager( 698): mDVFSHelper.acquire()

I guess, that there is something wrong with my AndroidManifest.xml file, but I can not figure out what`s the problem:

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Maybe you need update the lib implementation. I have a template for IOS and Android working with Cocos2d-x and Google Play Game Services.

Google maps with android

I want to display google maps in my android application. I tried with the google api, but it seems to have problems with API 12 and lower. So i used the example in this page (http://www.truiton.com/2013/05/android-supportmapfragment-example/), but it doesn't seem so work in my API 7 device (xperia 10 mini pro). I used the same code in that page and i get this error after the application starts:
10-18 18:04:55.481: E/AndroidRuntime(3980): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
10-18 18:04:55.491: E/AndroidRuntime(3980): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.example.maps/com.example.maps.MainActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.maps.MainActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader#458fc8e0
I get this error even if i did the "Add support library" in the "Android tools" menu, but it doesn't work. I saw that using GM with a web view is not a great idea, so i wanted to fix this problem.

you need to use 2.2 (API 8) and up inorder to use google maps v2

See here,just change the api key with your key in manifest file and follow these steps:
and make sure that your google_play_services_lib project should be present in your project's work space only.
Manifest file:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="replace with your API key"/>
</application>
</manifest>
MainActivity.java:
package com.geeklabs.map;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
After got this let me know.

RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver

I am attempting to launch an activity after the screen is unlocked and am getting the error log below. I looked at the other posts regarding my issue but now of them solved my problem

#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Intent activity = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
activity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

Could it be that "Receive" is spelled two different ways in your example?
From the exception:
...java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.me.phone.Receive
From the manifest:
<receiver android:name=".Recieve" >

Update
When I removed android:name=".MyApp" for the application from the manifest, the service started. Anyone know why?

when I removed android:name=".MyApp" for the application from the manifest, the service started. Anyone know why?
The reason for this is most likely the fact that your MyApp class does not extend android.app.Application.
As the Android Developer Site says:
android:name
The fully qualified name of an Application subclass
implemented for the application. When the application process is
started, this class is instantiated before any of the application's
components.
The subclass is optional; most applications won't need
one. In the absence of a subclass, Android uses an instance of the
base Application class.
Since subclassing Application is optional, removing android:name=".MyApp" allows your app to properly start because you're no longer trying to cast MyApp to Application which is exactly what your exception claims your app is trying to do.
