Sažetak
This article presents the possibility of using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service for the Android platform. GCM provides programmers and developers the possibility to send notifications and data to smart phones’ or tablet’s installed applications, by means of using the Web services. It also takes care of the state in which the mobile device, and gives a possibility of asynchronous communication in the opposite direction – from mobile application to the service. GCM has many useful features such as: “Send to Sync” and “Send data” capabilities, support for multicast messages, delay while idle, the use of persistent connections (by using XMPP), the upstream messaging and synchronization notification across multiple android devices. Also, this service can be very useful for locating stolen phones, remote adjustment of the mobile device sending a messages when user reach a certain level in the game, and so on. Shortly, the GCM is a great way for Android developers to manage their applications, but it also has its disadvantages and it recently became the subject of cyber-attacks.
