Using C2DM to receive notification from gmail server
原标题:

I d like my Android app to receive notification when new messages arrive in my gmail account. I realize that the Android gmail client does not broadcast notification when it receives messages. Instead I want to utilize the gmail server s Cloud to Device Messaging capabilities to do this. I read the article at http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/ - the only "missing piece" for me is to understand how my app sends a registration ID to the gmail server. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Tom

While Android s GMail client (and Contacts, Calendar, etc.) uses a push style notification system, it s not C2DM, as that is only available on Android 2.2+ devices for now. That being the case, I don t think Google provides a C2DM service to receive push notifications of received e-mails, nor do I think they will, but I can t say for sure.

The native Gmail client does not use C2DM AFAIK. It maintains a socket connection to the mail server, similar to Exchange.
