The intent does have the proper permission in manifest:

MANIFEST:

<permission
    android:name="com.exclusive26.igale.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.exclusive26.igale.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.exclusive26.igale.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"/>
...
...
<activity android:name=".Push_Activity"
    android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
...
...
<service android:name=".C2DMReceiver" />

<receiver android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.C2DMBroadcastReceiver"
    android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
        <category android:name="com.exclusive26.igale" />
    </intent-filter>

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION"/> 
        <category android:name="com.exclusive26.igale" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

chk out the following code in Push_Activity.java :

com.google.android.c2dm.C2DMessaging.register( this, com.exclusive26.igale.Config.C2DM_SENDER );

parameters sent correctly (Push_Activity context and some email address <-- static final String) inside C2DMessaging.register :

public static void register(Context context,
        String senderId) {
    Intent registrationIntent = new Intent(REQUEST_REGISTRATION_INTENT);
    registrationIntent.setPackage(GSF_PACKAGE);
    registrationIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_APPLICATION_PENDING_INTENT,
            PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent(), 0));
    registrationIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_SENDER, senderId);
    context.startService(registrationIntent);
    // TODO: if intent not found, notification on need to have GSF
}

in the startService() i get the exception. No idia how to solve this. please shed some light on the subject. Many Thanx!

Just for future users with this error: manifest file should look like this:

<permission
    android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />

instead of

<permission
    android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE.permission.RECEIVE" />

I spend about 5 hours to found out what was wrong in my project :)

回答2:

Maybe I'm missing something but the error shows "com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" and the manifest contains "com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" so I don't see a perfect match.

回答3:

The code was correct. I created a new project, copied the code and no problem anymore

回答4:

This error also can be provide, if we use some resource's names incorrectly in our Activity Java file. I also got the same error, but I did not use any services or permission yet. Problem was at onCreate() method with wrong resource id.
