Answer 1

(This question is quite old, but I hope this answer help others in the future.)

You need to use the API key, it seems you copy the Sender Id itself. First, after creating a project in Developer Consol you need to enable the API:

1. In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth.
2. In the displayed list of APIs, turn the Google Cloud Messaging for Android toggle to ON.

Next, obtain an API Key

1. In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth > Credentials.
2. Under Public API access, click Create new key.
3. In the Create a new key dialog, click Server key.
4. In the resulting configuration dialog, supply your server's IP address. For testing purposes, you can use 0.0.0.0/0.
5. Click Create.
6. In the refreshed page, copy the API key and use it in the Google Play Developer Console

Make sure that your Project id or sender id is valid.This is a unique id for project(the same id for client and server).

In your case you might be using project id of another project.
