Checking status of GCM message

Question

I'm trying to send a message to my phone by using GCM. I receive a message id=0... response but my phone doesn't show any message. Is there a way to check the status of messages(sent,waiting etc.)

Answer 1

Nope. If you received message_id=xxxx response, then GCM server has accepted your request and will process it ASAP. Whatever happens after that you have no control over with. You won't get another response whether the messages are delivered to the intended devices.

Answer 2

Google has recently added support to view the status of your messages sent via GCM. Follow these steps:
