Android Gradle product Flavors with Parse Push Notifications

Question

I am trying to send Push notifications via Parse and integrating product flavors. When I implement product flavors, i am not able to receive Parse Push Notifications. Does anyone have any advise on correcting this issue

Gradle app file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.project"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 21

}

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
    }
}
productFlavors{
    freeApp{
        applicationId "com.example.project.free"

    }
    premiumApp{
        applicationId "com.example.project.paid"
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile files('libs/android-async-http-1.4.2-66-g4b6eb97.jar')
compile files('libs/android-support-v13.jar')
compile files('libs/bolts-android-1.2.0.jar')
compile files('libs/Parse-1.9.2.jar')
compile files('libs/ParseCrashReporting-1.9.2.jar')
}

Answer 1

I have just solved the exact same problem very easily with the Manifest Merger:

 ${applicationId}

Example:

    <permission
        android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />
    <uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

    <application>
        <receiver
            android:name="com.parse.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />

                <category android:name="${applicationId}" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>
