App on Android market - HTTP notifications don't come

Question

PREAMBLE: the question is wildly obsolete. There's no more Google Checkout, no more Checkout API, and no more notification settings in Wallet Console.

---

I have a paid app on Android Market. I've set up an HTTPS notification URL in Google Checkout settings. Yet notifications don't come.

My Google Checkout settings under Integration go like this:

• My company will only post digitally signed carts - checked
• API callback URL - provided, it's HTTPS and it's valid
• Notification as XML - checked
• API version - 2.5
• Notification filtering - checked

Please, what am I doing wrong? Are realtime order notifications supported for Android Market at all? If so, is there a separate UI for setting those up?

EDIT: any data points would be welcome. If you sell stuff on the Market and do get those HTTP notifications, let's compare the setups.

EDIT2: seriously considering timed polling of my Google Checkout account. :(

EDIT3: contacted Google Checkout support. No substantial response for over a week. :(( On the brighter side, it is possible to retrieve the list of one's Google Checkout orders, with date and state filtering. On to retrieving order details...

Solution

The support rep told me it's by design, I should implement account polling with notification history API.

Specifically: https://developers.google.com/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_XML_API_Order_Report_API describes how to get the list of orders in given state

https://developers.google.com/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_XML_API_Notification_History_API lets you retrieve order details (getting just the "new order" notification is sufficient in my case).

EDIT: you cannot use some parts of the Google Checkout API with Android Market orders (like marking as archived).

This is not documented. Related question here.

The Checkout API I've referred to exists no longer anyway. The functionality itself is partially available elsewhere. But the premise of the question - that Checkout sends notifications about orders - is gone as well.
