Answer 1

"curl" command line tool can be used to send messages to devices registered with GCM.

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: key= <YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "registration_ids": [
    "<YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN>"
  ],
  "data": {
    "message": "<YOUR_MESSAGE>"
  }
}' \

You need to download via Android SDK. go to Window->Android SDK Manager. scroll down to extra and check "Google Cloud Messaging" and install.

after completed, you may check at : android-sdk/extras/google/gcm/samples

or you could try this (I've uploaded myself) : gcm

for server side, check on this answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/11253231/554740

Answer 3

We have a sample client up on GitHub: https://github.com/indigorose/airbop-client (based on the GCM client sample), which works with our GCM-based service AirBop: http://www.airbop.com Which you can test with for free.

I found an open-source sender client for windows here: https://gcm.codeplex.com/

• Device token can be found after you implement the GCM registration code and retrieve your registration ID via your client app (setup a breakpoint or print statement so that you are able to copy/paste this value, it's pretty long)
• Auth key is found after you setup your project in Google's developer console
