Note

Work in progress

To add Android settings
  1. On the Configurations tab in the EMM Console, click Settings.
  2. Enter the following Android settings:
    • Notifier Type - The notifier type determines the way in which the notification will take place. The available options are as follows:
      • Local - The device will contact the EMM server periodically.
      • GCM - GCM will send a notification to the device when there are pending operations available for a specific device.
    • Notifier Frequency (in milliseconds) - This is the interval after which the device will send a message to the EMM server.
    • API keys - The API key that you received after registering with Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). For more information, see Register with Google Cloud Messaging.
    • Sender IDs
  3. Click Save.

Register with Google Cloud Messaging

Follow the instructions below to register with Google Cloud Messaging (GCM):

  2. On the Dashboard page, click Projects and thereafter click Create Project to create a new project for our application.
    After creating the project, you will see the Project Number in the created project. That project number will be our sender ID when you communicate with the GCM server; therefore, you need to copy that and keep it safely.

  3. Click APIs & auth and then click APIs

  4. Turn on “Google cloud messaging for Android".

  5. Click APIs & auth and then click Credentials.
