Unable to start intent service gcm

Note:This is not a duplication or spammming since i have checked whole lot of searches.
Im currently developing an gcm integrated application and when i run on my emulator,it shows :
04-13 00:07:23.814: W/ActivityManager(366): Unable to start service
Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER
pkg=com.google.android.gms (has extras) } U=0: not found
My code is not similar to searches in here as I followed this tutorial https://github.com/erikswed/InstaChatX
In this tutorial,there are only 4 gcm client class,gcmbroadcast receiver,Gcm Util,Server Utilities and Constants.In those 4 classes havent mentioned about intent and in android manifest files also dont have permission:
Here is code for 4 gcm client class:
public class GcmBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

Google GCM XMPP code samples

So, Google used to have a nice page where they gave code sample on how to implement a GCM Xmpp server on this page:
https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/ccs
I had bookmarked this answer anytime I wanted to view the implementation
Confused about Google GCM XMPP
But everything linked from in that answer is gone. Google deleted them.
But now, they have removed everything, and added a page that just explains what it does. Sure, but the sample java code would be nice. I tried to go to the sample site on github that they link to
https://github.com/google/gcm
but it only provides samples of HTTP GCM server version.
Can somebody point me to a working code sample please? Or Is there a library out there that would work with c# at all? if not, I would just settle with the java version too.
Thanks.

Here is one I wrote for a class example (with some non-XMPP parts deleted to keep it small enough so I can post the code, but have the full server at http://people.eku.edu/styere/GcmPushServer.java):

Google's example implementation of an XMPP server is in the friendly-ping sample. It has Java and Go versions.

A little bit late, but here's:
The direct link to the sample app server for ccs connection Friendly Ping java
Wolfram Rittmeyer also created a gcm server, in his An XMPP Server for Google Cloud Messaging post

Source code I found on following link:
http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/ccs.html#implement
I imported already Smack 4.1.1 on it and also json-simple-1.1.1, xmlpull-1.1.3.1, junit...
Problem lyies on Smack library, iam getting a lot of errors, even i already imported all jar files from it... I understand that Smack library is having a BIG history during development... still i would like to understand what I'am doing... Found a possible solution on following link:
GCM XMPP Server using Smack 4.1.0
Maybe I can use it, maybe not... Are there any Tutorials? Maybe some better examples? Is every version on Smack having it's own Documentation?

Firstly, the 404 code indicates that the element doesn't exist, then maybe your problem is the annotation #ServerEndpoint("/chat"), the HTTP request is looking for a /GroupChat/ element. Now, also you must review your settings files (web.xml, context.xml, application.xml, etc) because you could have an context attribute or display-name attribute misconfigured.
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck.

Opening new connection after Connection Draining. Google Cloud Messaging

I am somewhat new to Google Cloud Messaging. We have been working with it for a couple of months but just recently we have been getting "Connection Draining" messages. When this happens all communication stops.
Google says: https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/ccs.html#response
When you receive a CONNECTION_DRAINING message, you should
immediately begin sending messages to another CCS connection, opening
a new connection if necessary. You should, however, keep the original
connection open and continue receiving messages that may come over the
connection (and ACKing them)—CCS will handle initiating a connection
close when it is ready.
My question is
If I open a new connection manually, how does it know what connection to use if I don't close the existing connection?
If 6 messages are sent concurrently how do I stop the method from opening 6 connections? Or am I confused on this?
Why does connection draining happen?
I am surprised this isn't already put into play in their example code. It seems like its pretty much everything you need. Is it already done for me in the code and I am missing it?
I don't have a main method in my code, I user servlets as triggers instead. My connection is initailized like this
#PostConstruct
public void init() throws Exception{
try {
smackCcsClient.connect(Long.parseLong(env.getProperty("gcm.api")), env.getProperty("gcm.key"));
}catch (IOException e ){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch(SmackException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch(XMPPException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
however after this I never touch the connection again. Am I handling this wrong, is the connection something I should be touching more frequently or something I need to keep track of?
_______________________ADDED AFTER THE QUESTION_________________________
I added a connection inside of their example code to try to reinitialize a connection. It looks like this:
if ("CONNECTION_DRAINING".equals(controlType)) {
connectionDraining = true;
//Open new connection because old connection will be closing or is already closed.
try {
connect(Long.parseLong(env.getProperty("gcm.api")), env.getProperty("gcm.key"));
} catch (XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SmackException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Unrecognized control type: %s. This could happen if new features are " + "added to the CCS protocol.",
controlType);
}

I have written a code for handling such cases(basically diverting new downstream messages to a new connection)... not thoroughly tested...

I'm also new in GCM and facing the same problem...I solved it by creating new SmackCcsClient() on CONNECTION_DRAINING message. Older connection should still exists and receiving messages, but not sending because:
protected volatile boolean connectionDraining = true;
Google says that connection will be closed by CCS:
CCS will handle initiating a connection close when it is ready.
Until connection is closed by CCS you will be able to receive messages from both connections, but able to send messages with just new one. When old connection is closed it should be destroyed, I'm not sure if garbage collector is called or not...trying to solve this issue
P.S.: I'm not 100% sure with this answer, but maybe it will open more space for discussion.

I just pushed the code for the FCM Connection Draining to my FCM XMPP Server example.
Project:
XMPP Connection Server for FCM using the latest version of the Smack library (4.2.2) + Connection Draining Implementation.
