How to send a high-priority GCM?

Question

I'm using a Nexus 5 with Android M Preview.

My problem that I'm trying to solve is:

Network access is disabled, unless your app receives a high priority Google Cloud Messaging tickle.

What I'm doing is:

I put the phone into Doze mode and then I send a push notification with the priority with value 10 and I'm expecting to have internet access for a brief moments, but this is not working.

Should I use other type of notifications? There are any documentation already available?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Setting priority to 10 is the correct thing to do, but it does not work with the version of Android M released at I/O. It has been fixed, and priority 10 messages will work as expected with the public release.
