Please don't attack your users that way, unless they opt into it. Many of your users will not appreciate being forcibly interrupted in the middle of their game, their book, their movie, etc. Please allow an option for using standard Android notifications, which the vast majority of your users will be used to. > Are there any parameters specific in the payload or header that need > to be specified to achieve this? No. Your problem has nothing to do with C2DM data. It has everything to do with what you are doing when the C2DM broadcast arrives and what you are then doing. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 2.5 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
