GCM Push Notification with Asp.Net
As you may have seen, Google is migrating its Push Notification System.
http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/c2dm.html
Is there any sample or guide line available for implementing Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) by using an Asp.Net application?
I have a piece of code which is working fine for me and could be helpful, I tested it out...
void send(string regId)
{
var applicationID = "xxxxxxxx";
var SENDER_ID = "xxxxx";
var value = txtMsg.Text;
WebRequest tRequest;
tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = " application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", applicationID));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", SENDER_ID));
// string postData = "{ 'registration_id': [ '" + regId + "' ], 'data': {'message': '" + txtMsg.Text + "'}}";
string postData = "collapse_key=score_update&time_to_live=108&delay_while_idle=1&data.message=" + value + "&data.time=" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString() + "®istration_id=" + regId + "";
Console.WriteLine(postData);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse();
dataStream = tResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
lblStat.Text = sResponseFromServer;
tReader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
tResponse.Close();
}
here is the code in c#
WebRequest tRequest;
tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", GoogleAppID));
String collaspeKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("n");
String postData=string.Format("registration_id={0}&data.payload={1}&collapse_key={2}", DeviceID, "Pickup Message" + DateTime.Now.ToString(), collaspeKey);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse();
dataStream = tResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
tReader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
tResponse.Close();
