Did you check developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/client?

Rajesh,these documentation provided by you based on about registration token id.actually i want to know about particular device token id for push notification

[Tarique Shamsi]

in which part of project,we add these codes,and how we get the device token?

[Nikunj]

you can add above code in any Activity or Service. It's better to get token in Launcher Activity.And put your "SenderId" in R.string.gcm_defaultSenderId

[Tarique Shamsi]

but this code is working for registration token,actually i want the device token for particular android device.how can we get particular device token for android device

[Nikunj]

to integrate GCM in Android you only need "device token" which you get from above code and you have to send it to server.

InstanceID should be retrieved using InstanceID.getInstance(context).getId();
